My Research

I am interested in Beyond the Standard Model phenomenology at present and future collider: LHC, ILC, CLICK, LHeC. Following are the topics that I have been working on:
  • Effective field theory,
  • Anomalous gauge boson, Higgs to gauge boson and Higgs self couplings,
  • Polarization/spin observables of spin-1 (Z, W) and spin-1/2 (t) particle,
  • Role of beam polarization at ILC and LHeC,
  • Phenomenology of Supersymmetry, extra dimension and dark matter.

Research Experiences

For the past seven years, I predominantly work on studying anomalous couplings in electroweak sector with polarization of final state and initial state particle. In collaboration with Dr. Ritesh K. Singh I studied the anomalous trilinear gauge couplings of Z and g using a complete set of polarization asymmetries for Z boson in e+e- --> ZZ/Zgamma processes with unpolarized initial beams and obtain a simultaneous limit on all the anomalous couplings using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. Next I studied the effect of beam (e) polarization on the sensitivity of polarization observables on the anomalous couplings in the same processes and estimated best choice of beam polarization in terms of measure of goodness based on averaged likelihood. After this, I studied anomalous W+W-V (V = Z, gamma) couplings in the process e+e- --> W+W- with W boson polarization and beam polarization and obtain constrain on the anomalous couplings using MCMC. Next I studied ZZ production process at LHC in 4l channel including aTGC with QCD

correction using spin polarization of Z boson together with total rate. I was also involved in studying the anomalous ZZH and ZZHH couplings in the processes e+e- --> ZHH and e+e- --> HH nu nu_bar In collaboration with Prof. P. Paulose et. al. We study sensitivity of cross section and other kinematic distributions on the anomalous couplings. In collaboration with P. Poulose et. al. I also studied the Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) in the single top quark production via tqZ interaction at the proposed Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) with polarized electron beams. We reconstruct the missing neutrino (nl) coming from t --> W+b, W+ --> nu_l l+ to construct the polarization observables of top quark and use them to study signal as well as relevant background and obtain constrain on the non-standard tqZ couplings. Then, I stuided the anomalous WWZ couplings in ZW+/W- production process at the LHC in trilepton process with the polarizations of Z and Ws by reconstructing the missing neutrino. I then worked on probing non standard b-Yukawa couplings with Boosted decesion trees using XGBoos.

Ongoing project

Currently, I am working for the formalism of spin-spin correlations of a pair of spinfull particles, dark Z-boson sutudy with polarizations, identifying lab frame observables correalated to polarizations.
