Research Interests
Strong, Electromagnetic and Weak interactions are studied at high energy in pion-nucleon, nucleon-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions. Study of quark-gluon plasma by using heavy-ion beams from CERN Geneva (Switzerland) and from Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island (NY) in nuclear emulsion. For this research work we have more than half a dozen good microscopes including Leitz Ortholux, Bausch and Lomb microscopes equipped with Brower Stage, Cook's scattering microscope, three Koristka scattering microscopes which are being used to study the scattering of very high energy particles, Leitz UMW-II large scattering microscope with digital readout for x, y motion with an accuracy of 0.1 mm and an optical projectile rotary stage with 360 degrees rotation.
Current Projects
- Characteristics of charged particle multiplicities distribution in relativistic heavy-ion interactions especially with 208Pb beam at 160A GeV and compare its result with other heavy-ion beams from CERN and BNL
- Multifragmentation of heavy nuclei at relativistic energies >10A GeV
- Search for short-lived exotic particles in heavy-ion interactions at 10-200A GeV
- Nuclear collective flow with heavy fragments (Z>2). How does it vary with (i) PF's charge (ii) the impact parameter (iii) the size of the target nucleus
- Study of electron pair production in relativistic heavy ion interactions
- Search for quark-gluon-plasma
