In SM the left-handed neutrino is massless, and, as a matter of fact there is no right-handed counterpart. However, different neutrino experiments have acquired enough data to prove that neutrinos are massive, albeit tiny. The easiest way to generate neutrino mass is the seesaw mechanism. In many seesaw model, the main role is played by a heavy right-handed Majorana neutrino. This also appear in other scenario of new physics as well. Currently, I have been studying the collider signature of heavy Majorana neutrino at LHC. Besides that, from other neutrino experiments, like MINOS, T2K, now there is strong evidence in favour of the third mixing angle, namely, θ13 to be non-zero. I am currently also studying some new physics model to apply on the new results on the lepton flavour violation sector, namely, µ → eγ etc, as well as to explain the non-zero value of the third mixing angles. Recently, I have worked on the collider signature of the physics of universal extra-dimension. I have discussed the production of heavy Kaluza-Klein (KK) electroweak gauge bosons along with heavy quarks. The prospects of LHC in this direction is discussed with center of mass energy at 10 TeV as well as 14 TeV. I have also exhibited the integrated luminosity required to obtain a 5σ signal as function of different parameters of the model. 2 In another recent work of collider physics I have explored the discovery potential of doubly charged Higgs boson at LHC . To be specific, for a mass range of 200 − 1000 GeV for the doubly charged Higgs scalar, the like-sign dilepton signal can be detected at LHC at a center of mass −1 energy 14 TeV with an integrated luminosity, say, ≥ 30fb . The same analysis is also performed with 7 TeV and 10 TeV center of mass energy cases. During the period of my doctoral work, I have worked on different aspects of new physics Beyond the Standard Model, e.g. Grand Unified Theory, Extra-Dimensions, Supersymmetry etc. In summary, I have explored the power law running of different coupling constants in presence of the TeV scale extra dimensions. How presence of the KK-excited mode of different SM-particles will effect the running of gauge as well as Yukawa couplings are discussed. At the tree level of Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the lightest neutral Higgs is lighter than the Z−boson mass. However, due to the radiative correction at the one loop level, this bound is relaxed till 135 GeV. This saved MSSM, besides the non-observation of any neutral Higgs at the LEP experiment. I have in one project addressed the same question, and discussed how far the bound on the neutral Higgs mass could be relaxed when different KK-excited mode will appear in the loop in both five and six dimensional scenarios. I have also found distinct ways to lower the intermediate scale in the left-right supersymmetric SO(10) Grand Unified theory to explain leptogenesis as well as light left-handed neutrino masses. This way, the intermediate scale and corresponding gauge bosons will be accessible at LHC and hence the subsequent phenomenology will be discussed. I have also estimated pentaquark masses with a proper incorporation of colour-spin symmetry for the triquark state. • Teaching summary: I have very recently joined as Assistant Professor in Physics with the BITS, Pilani, Goa campus. During this short period I have taught some part of the advance topic of particle physics and perform some laboratory duties. In the coming semester I have planned to teach the introductory course on Mechanics, Oscillations and Wave and some advanced topic on the course of Quantum Field Theory and will have some laboratory duties as well. I have also delivered some lectures on the topic of the introduction of particle physics. 3 • Published research papers: Three selected papers ♣ Implications of Recent Data on Neutrino Mixing and Lepton Flavour Violating Decays for the Zee Model Authors: Xiao-Gang He, Swarup Kumar Majee (NTU) Published in JHEP03: 023, 2012 Publisher: Springer ♣ Exploring the Universal Extra Dimension at the LHC.

    Amitava Raychaudhuri Research Summary: In 2007-08, research has been carried out in aspects of neutrino physics, particle physics models based on space-time with extra dimensions, and quark models. In continuing work on the prospects of the proposed Iron Calorimeter detector at INO being used as an end-detector for a very long baseline experiment in con- junction with a beta-beam source in Europe, it has been shown that this set-up has unmatched sensitivity for probing many of the remaining unknowns of the neutrino mass matrix. Related work on long baseline experiments with a beta- beam have (a) explored the possibility of using the survival probability Pee and (b) optimised the baseline, boost-factor, and luminosities for the best reach for probing the open issues of neutrino physics. The upper bound on the mass of the lightest neutral higgs scalar is shown to be considerably relaxed in models in which SUSY is embedded in space-time of more than four dimensions. Even though the observational evidence for the ‘pentaquark’ is currently not strong, such a bound state is a consequence of QCD. The group theory of the ‘triquark’ – which is a aconstitutent of the pentaquark – has been examined with a focus on the colour-spin SU(6) structure. Using these results, the masses of the different pentaquak states and their colour-spin excitations have been estimated. Publications: 1.

Abstract We consider a 5-dimensional SU(5) model wherein the symmetry is broken to the 4-dimensional 1 Standard Model by compactification of the 5th dimension on an S /(Z2 x Z'2) orbifold. We identify the members of all SU(5) representations upto 75 which have zero modes. We examine how these light scalars affect gauge coupling unification assuming a single intermediate scale and present several acceptable solutions. The 5-D compactification scale coincides with the unification scale of gauge couplings and is determined via this renormalization group analysis. When 5(9(10) is considered as the GUT group there are only two solutions, so long as a few low dimensional scalar multiplets upto 126 are included.

  • Amitava Raychaudhuri
    Amitava Raychaudhuri Research Summary: In 2006-07, research has been carried out in aspects of neutrino physics, models based on space-time with extra dimensions, and grand unified theories. These are briefly discussed in turn below. In neutrino physics, a considerable effort has been spent on the prospects of a beta- beam facility { a source of pure νe or ν¯e beams. It has been shown that such a facility has unique advantages in both long- and short-baseline set-ups to better determine and constrain neutrino mass and mixing parameters as well as to explore non-Standard physics, like R-parity violating supersymmetry. Research has also been carried out to determine how well the ICAL detector at INO will be able to probe the neutrino mass splitting and mixing angle relevant for atmospheric neutrino oscillations. Models in which space-time has more than four dimensions have been examined for the unification of gauge couplings at high energies. A light intermediate scale in GUTS is a necessary ingredient for satisfying the re- quirement of proper leptogenesis. Obtaining such an intermediate scale is fraught with difficulties. It has been shown that within SUSY SO(10) GUTs this may be possible if the Higgs multiplets are appropriately chosen (16 rather than 126) and threshold corrections are incorporated. Alternate possibilities include the use of non-renormalisable Planck scale interactions and/or introduction of additional chiral multiplets. Publications: 1.

    Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur Department of Physics Professor Jagadishwar Mahanty Distinguished Lecture Series in Physics The Ninth Lecture in the series will be delivered by Professor Amitava Raychaudhuri Physics Department University of Calcutta on " The Enigma of Mass: Higgs and the see-saw " Date: 3rd March, 2014 (Monday) Venue: Outreach Auditorium Time: 5:30 PM (Tea will be served at 5:00 PM in the Auditorium foyer) ABSTRACT The origin of mass of elementary particles has been a key which has opened several new directions in physics. On the one hand is our understanding of the forces of Nature: There are many similarities between the electromagnetic and weak interactions. These encourage a unified picture. But a striking difference between the two is that, unlike electromagnetism, weak interactions are short-ranged. The mediator of electromagnetism is massless while that of the weak interactions is massive. This divide was bridged by the Higgs mechanism which was only recently vindicated through the detection of a tell-tale boson widely recognized as the `God particle'. On the other hand is an understanding of the mass scales: Till recently it was believed that neutrinos are massless. Painstaking experiments over many years have now convinced us that this is not the case, but the neutrino mass is very tiny. What is the reason behind the neutrino being so light compared to other quarks and leptons? Nowadays, it is widely believed that the smallness of the neutrino mass is tied to the heaviness of a partner neutrino - a mass see-saw. In this talk we take a stroll through these subjects.
