    ANNUAL REPORT 2014 NATIONAL CENTRE FOR PHYSICS “The main objective of NCP is to promote research in physics and allied disciplines and to develop science culture in Pakistan.” © 2015 National Centre for Physics (NCP) Quaid-i-Azam University Campus Shahdra Valley Road, Islamabad. ISBN: 978-969-9350-14-6 Compiled by: Dr. Riffat M. Qureshi Ata ur Rehman Ashiq Hussain Composed by: Syed Hasnat Gillani Photographs by: Muhammad Imran Iqbal Published by: Collaborations & Academic Activities Department Director General’s Message The National Centre for Physics was established in 2004 on the pattern of The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (AS-ICTP), Trieste, Italy. It is a unique centre for research in fundamental and advanced areas of physics in Pakistan. The main objective of NCP is to promote research in the field of physics and allied disciplines in Pakistan. NCP endeavors to engage in world-class research and develop science culture in the country. NCP is a novel research institute aiming to produce world-class scientific researchers at NCP, as without good science no progress can be made in any area of technology or applied sciences. It is a matter of great pleasure for me to see that NCP has achieved national and international recognition at its initial stages and has gained a high pedestal among well- established research institutes of the country. At NCP, we are recognized for providing most up-to-date research facilities, which are not only used by the researchers at NCP but are available to all physics community of Pakistan. Facilities offered are: accelerator, nano-science laboratory, computing resources, experimental high-energy physics and vacuum sciences.

    N ewsletter National Centre for Physics January - June 2016 From the Desk of DG NCP We at NCP are jointly working for the promotion of Physics and allied disciplines in Pakistan. A world without science would mean that we would still be living in a very different way to that of what we live today. Science is actually based on curiosity. Science makes everyday life easier than it ever has been. Inside this Issue Science results in technology that people rely on for Message from DG NCP health, communication and transportation. Scientific knowledge helps people understand the world from a Scientific Events cellular to a universal level. MOUs Science generates knowledge by means of new discoveries that are often met with disbelief at first, Scientific Visits but such knowledge eventually becomes widespread Academic Achievements and common. Science has led us to find out things that give us what we have today. In fact, without science we would not have electricity which would mean Sports Gala no mobiles, internet, Facebook, we would not have fridges to keep food fresh, television to entertain or even cars to travel in. So in nutshell we can say that the importance of science cannot be negated because there is not one aspect of daily living that science has not made easier, faster or safer. Editor’s Note Scientific Events “Thinking scientifically means being open minded to the possibility of being wrong” ISS-2016 Few days back, I read this quotation “The high class research being carried out in Pakistani research institutes is radically which further strengthened my helping to minimize the scientific void between opinion to think scientifically.

  • Orientation and Training Cources at NIAB
    Newsletter of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission November-December,2002 Back to Main PAEC working on saline land project for socio-economic development Socio-economic conditions of the masses could be improved by helping them to cultivate saline and water-logged wastelands of the country It will discourage migration of rural population to urban centers by creation of jobs and generating economic activity at their native places This was stated by Chairman Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, Mr. Parvez Butt during his visit to BioSaline Agriculture Research Station at Pacca Anna about 53 kilometers from Faisalabad. He said, out of twenty million hectares of country's lands, seven million hectares are inflicted by salinity and water logging. This malice has massively reduced our agriculture output potential forcing the local population to migrate for livelihood. The traditional methods employed for elimination of salinity and water logging involve pumping out gigantic mass of underground water followed by sweet water treatment which apart from being unaffordable and expensive take many many years to yield results. PAEC through application of nuclear techniques, has evolved and identified crops, trees and shrubs, which are, salt tolerant, accept the brackish water and can be grown in saline lands. He said that as such these plants have economic worth and could be used for the redressal of poverty by creating new job opportunities. Mr. Parvez Butt informed that this technology is internationally acclaimed and Pakistan has transferred the same to many countries badly affected by salinity and water logging under the aegis of International Atomic Energy Agency. In view of the demonstrated utility of these techniques, Government of Pakistan has sanctioned Rs.

  • Testbeam Results of Endcap RPC's
    Available on CMS information server CMS NOTE 2007/015 The Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment CMS Note Mailing address: CMS CERN, CH-1211 GENEVA 23, Switzerland Testbeam Results of Endcap RPC's Ijaz Ahmed, M. Irfan Asghar, Hafeez Hoorani ¢¡ National Centre for Physics, Islamabad, Pakistan Zia Aftab, J.A. Jan, M.Shariq Khan, Tariq Solaija Pakistan Atomic Energy Commision, Islamabad, Pakistan Abstract In this paper, results are presented from the beamtest in 2002 of the full-scale RE-2/2 prototype RPC chamber assembled in Pakistan. The results are mainly related with the efficiency, time resolution, and rate capability of this non-oiled RPC. The CMS collaboration has imposed strict criteria on the performance parameters for RPC's. These results show that prototype RPC's meet with all the CMS criteria and are suitable for installation in CMS detector. £¥¤ Corresponding Author, email: [email protected] 1 Introduction The Pakistani group is responsible for the RPC's which are being installed in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector endcap regions, specifically RE2/2, RE2/3, RE3/2, RE3/3 on both forward and backward directions. For this purpose several prototypes were made from 1999-2003 and they were tested at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) using X5 beam [1]. The present results are obtained from data which were taken at CERN during the testbeam performed in 2002. The shape of the RPC is trapezoidal and it covers ¦¨§ © in . The endcap RPC's are double gap chambers with the readout strips running perpendicular to the beam line (in ). An RPC consists of two parallel plates made out of bakelite with a bulk resistivity of the order of 10 cm, separated by a gas gap of 2 mm.

  • Top Quark Kinematics and W- Polarization at CMS
    National Centre for Physics Quaid-e-Azam University Campus Shahdra Valley Road, Islamabad. Name: Waqar Ahmad Research Topic: Top Quark Kinematics and W- Polarization at CMS Academic Status: M.Phil University/Institute: University of Karachi Supervisor Name: Prof. Tehseen Rahim, Prof. Dr. Hafeez Hoorani Abstract: The top quark is the heaviest known elementary particle, discovered at the FERMILAB TEVATRON collider in 1995. Ever since its discovery in 1995, top quark has been the best candidate for the search of new physics. It is because its mass is extremely close to the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. The top quark interacts primarily by the strong interaction but can only decay through the weak force. Owing to its unusually huge mass and consequently short lifetime, its behavior is different from all other quarks. Unlike other quarks it decays without forming hadrons and its spin information is passed to its decay products. This makes it possible to measure observables that depend on the top quark spin, providing a unique environment for tests of the Standard Model and for searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. The best way to access particle spin information is to measure the angular distribution of its decay products. Depending upon the decay modes of W, ttbar can decay in three ways, i.e. fully leptonically, fully hadronically and semi-leptonically. This research focuses on semi-leptonic one i.e. The spin one W has three possible helicities; we label these as -1 (left-handed), 0 (longitudinal) and +1 (right-handed). The corresponding probabilities are , and respectively. W spin information can be inferred from angular distribution of the daughter particles in the W rest frame.
