Quintom scalar field : Varying dark energy equation of state obtained from recent SNe Ia, BAO and OHD data
From the analysis of Supernova Ia data alongwith Observational Hubble Data (OHD) and Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) data, we attempt to find out the nature of a scalar potential that may be responsible for the Dark Energy of the universe. We demonstrate that in order to explain the varying dark energy equation of state ($\omega_X(z)$) as obtained in a model independent way from the analyses of observational data, we need to invoke a quintom scalar field having a "quintessence" part for $\omega_X(z) > -1$ and a "phantom" part for $\omega_X(z) < -1$. We consider a Gaussian type potential for these scalar fields and compare the dark energy equation of state derived from such potential with the one computed from the data analysis.

Dark Matter -- Possible Candidates and Direct Detection
The cosmological observations coupled with theoretical calculations suggest the existence of enormous amount of unseen and unknown matter or dark matter in the universe. The evidence of their existence, the possible candidates and their possible direct detections are discussed.

Late-time acceleration in a slow-moving Galileon field
�� 2M2 � ;� � ;� respects the Galileon symmetry in curved spacetime. We carry out detailed investigations of the underlying dynamics of this Lagrangian with an Einstein-Hilbert term and a potential. We demonstrate that the model can give rise to a viable ghost-free late-time acceleration of the universe. Furthermore, we study the cosmological perturbation of the model and see that the model gives different big bang nucleosynthesis constraints at early times. We also carry out the observational analysis of the model and use observational data from growth, type Ia supernovae data, baryon acoustic oscillations, and the cosmic microwave background to constrain the parameters of the theory. From cosmological observations (1-4) it is evident that our Universe is currently undergoing an accelerated ex- pansion. The theoretical understanding of the nature of cosmic repulsion is a challenge for the cosmologist and the particle physicist today. A variety of approaches have been studied to address this problem, but to date there is still no definite answer. According to the standard ap- proach, the late-time acceleration can be accounted for by supplementing the energy-momentum tensor by an exotic fluid component with large negative pressure dubbed dark energy (5-12), which constitutes about three quarters of the total cosmic budget of the Universe (13). The simplest candidate for dark energy which is consistent with the observations is provided by a cosmological con- stant � . However, there are various serious theoretical problems associated to it, namely, the fine-tuning and the coincidence problems. An interesting alternative to a cosmological constant is provided by the scalar fields. The cosmological dynamics of a variety of scalar field models has been studied in the literature (7). Though these models do not address the cosmological constant problem, they can give late-time cosmic acceleration and can also provide a viable cosmo- logical dynamics at early epochs. Scalar field models with generic features like the trackers are capable of alleviating the fine-tuning and coincidence problems. At present, these scalar field models are absolutely consistent with the observations but, at the same time, a large number of these models are also permitted. One must therefore rely on future data which should allow one to narrow down the class of permissible scalar field dark energy models.

A possible explanation of low energy γ-ray excess from galactic centre and Fermi bubble by a Dark Matter model with two real scalars
We promote the idea of multi-component Dark Matter (DM) to explain results from both direct and indirect detection experiments. In these models as contribution of each DM candidate to relic abundance is summed up to meet WMAP/Planck measurements of Ω{sub DM}, these candidates have larger annihilation cross-sections compared to the single-component DM models. We illustrate this fact by introducing an extra scalar to the popular single real scalar DM model. We also present detailed calculations for the vacuum stability bounds, perturbative unitarity and triviality constraints on this model. As direct detection experimental results still show some conflict, we kept our options open, discussing different scenarios with different DM mass zones. In the framework of our model we make an interesting observation: the existing direct detection experiments like CDMS II, CoGeNT, CRESST II, XENON 100 or LUX together with the observation of excess low energy γ-ray from galactic centre and Fermi bubble by Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST) already have the capability to distinguish between different DM halo profiles.

DARK MATTER CANDIDATE IN A HEAVY HIGGS MODEL: DIRECT DETECTION RATES
We investigate direct detection rates for Dark Matter candidates arise in a SU(2)L×U(1)Y with an additional doublet Higgs proposed by Barbieri, Hall and Rychkov. We refer to this model as "Heavy Higgs Model". The Standard Model Higgs mass comes out from this model is very heavy, so there is very slim chance that there is no Higgs boson mass below 200 GeV. The additional Higgs boson develops neither any VEV due to the choice of coefficient of the scalar potential of the model nor it has any coupling with fermions due to the incorporation of a discrete parity symmetry. Thus, the neutral components of the extra doublet are stable and can be considered as probable candidate of Cold Dark Matter. We have made calculations for three different types of Dark Matter experiments, namely, 76Ge (like GENIUS), DAMA (NaI) and XENON (131Xe). Also demonstrated the annual variation of Dark Matter detection in case of all three

Energy dependence of mean square charged multiplicity in Regge--Mueller formalism
Abstract The energy dependence of the mean square multiplicity is obtained on the basis of a Regge-Mueller analysis, when a pomeron with α p(0) = 1 and subsidiary trajectories with α(0) = 1 2 are present. The expression for 〈 n ( n − 1)〉 is shown to be of the form c 1 (ln s ) 2 + c 2 (ln s ) + c 3 + c 4 (ln s ) 2 /√ s + c 5 ln s /√ s + c 6 /√ s , with the coefficients given in terms of certain well defined integrals over physically measurable quantities. We are unable, with available experimental data on inclusive reations to estimate all these coefficients. However, retaining only the terms that survive as s →∞, we obtain a simple expression for the correlation function f 2 = 〈 n ( n −1)〉 − 〈 n 〉 2 for which a reasonable estimate has been made. The agreement with experiment is good.

Effect of a transverse momentum distribution in the parton model
The parton model for the inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering is generalized to include a realistic momentum distribution of the partons. In this formalism each parton is given a component of momentum which is orthogonal in a four-vector sense to the nucleon momentum. An approximation scheme is developed to take into account the effect of this orthogonal (transverse) momentum distribution of the partons. It is found to generate an additional scale-invariant contribution to the structure function $\ensuremath{\nu}{W}_{2}(\ensuremath{\nu}, {Q}^{2})$ as well as a non-scale-invariant contribution, as is expected. The scale-invariance-breaking term is found to be a power series in $\frac{{Q}^{2}}{{\ensuremath{\nu}}^{2}}$ and vanishes as $\ensuremath{\nu}$ or ${Q}^{2}$ goes to infinity for a fixed $\ensuremath{\omega}=\frac{2M\ensuremath{\nu}}{{Q}^{2}}$. The effect of the transverse momentum distribution is explicitly displayed and discussed for a few momentum distribution functions. The data on inelastic $e\ensuremath{-}p$ scattering are then analyzed for any significant deviations from scale invariance, and it is concluded that there is evidence for such deviations. On the assumption that the systematic errors in the data are small, we make some fits which display the dependence on ${Q}^{2}$. Finally, an attempt is made to fit the data with the formalism developed in the initial part of the paper. For this purpose use is made of a model for the partons, proposed previously by the authors to explain the data in the approximation that scale invariance is satisfied. Some comments are made on the properties of partons which are necessary to fit the data and on the present status of scale-invariance breaking.
