Item Constraining R Violation from Anomalous Abelian Family Symmetry(ARXIV, 2002-03) Vaidya, RishikeshThe patterns of R violation resulting from imposition of a gauged U(1) horizontal symmetry, on the minimal supersymmetric standard model are systematically analyzed. We concentrate on a class of models with integer U(1) charges chosen to reproduce the quark masses and mixings as well as charged lepton masses exactly or approximately. The U(1) charges are further restricted from the requirement that very large bilinear lepton number violating terms should not be allowed in the super-potential. It is shown that all the trilinear λ′ijk and all but at most two trilinear λijk couplings vanish or are enormously suppressed.Item Working group report: Beyond the standard model(IAS, 2003) Vaidya, RishikeshThe working group on Beyond the StandardModel concentrated on identifying interesting physics issues in models of ‘new physics’ which go beyond the standard model. There were two aspects to this activity. One was to familiarise participants with the areas, for which the expertise available among the participants was very useful. The other aspect involved is the identification and formulation of research problems out of these issues, with the ultimate aim of building fruitful collaborations. In view of the range of current interest in the high energy physics community, this working group was organised according to the following focal themes:Item Working group report: Low energy and flavour physics(Springer, 2004-12) Vaidya, RishikeshThis is a report of the low energy and flavour physics working group at WHEPP-8, held at the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, India, during 5–16 January 2004.Item Radiative B decays in Supersymmetry without R-parity(ARXIV, 2004-11) Vaidya, RishikeshWe present a systematic analysis of all the contributions at the leading log order to the branching ratio of the inclusive radiative B decay, B --> X_s + gamma in the framework of supersymmetry without R-parity. The relevant set of four-quark operators involved in QCD running are extended from 6 (within SM and MSSM) to 24, with also many new contributions to the Wilson coefficients of (chromo)magnetic penguins for either chiral structure. We present complete analytical results here without any a priori assumptions on the form of R-parity violation. Mass eigenstate expressions are given, hence the results are free from the commonly adopted mass-insertion approximation. In the numerical analysis, we focus here only on the influence of the trilinear lambda-prime couplings and report on the possibility of a few orders of magnitude improvement for the bounds on a few combinations of the lambda-prime couplings. Our study shows that the Wilson coefficients of the current-current operators due to R-parity violation dominate over the direct contributions to the penguins. However, the inter-play of various contributions is complicated due to the QCD corrections which we elaborate here.Item Quark Loop Contribution to Neutron EDM from R-parity Violation(ARXIV, 2005-05) Vaidya, RishikeshWe present a detailed analysis together with numerical calculations on one-loop contributions to the neutron electric dipole moment from supersymmetry without R parity, focusing on the quark-scalar loop contributions. Complete formulas are given for the various contributions through the quark dipole operators. Analytical expressions illustrating the explicit role of the R-parity violating parameters are given following perturbative diagonalization of mass-squared matrices for the scalars. Dominant contributions come from the combinations B∗iλ′ij1 for which we obtain robust bounds. Even if the R-parity violating couplings are real, CKM phase does induce RPV contribution and for some cases such a contribution is as strong as contribution from phases in the R-parity violating couplings. Hence, we have bounds directly on |B∗ił′ij1| even if the parameters are all real.Item Working group report: Flavor physics and model building(Springer, 2006-11) Vaidya, RishikeshThis is the report of flavor physics and model building working group at WHEPP-9. While activites in flavor physics have been mainly focused on B-physics, those in model building have been primarily devoted to neutrino physics. We present summary of working group discussions carried out during the workshop in the above fields, and also briefly review the progress made in some projects subsequently.Item Working group report: Collider Physics(Springer, 2006-10) Vaidya, RishikeshThis is summary of the activities of the working group on collider physics in the IXth Workshop on High Energy Physics Phenomenology (WHEPP-9) held at the Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, India in January 2006. Some of the work subsequently done on these problems by the subgroups formed during the workshop is included in this report.Item Tanbeta enhanced contributions to b--> s gamma in SUSY without R-parity(ARXIV, 2004-11) Vaidya, RishikeshWe present a systematic analysis of the decay b --> s gamma at the leading log within the framework of Supersymmetry without R-parity. We point out some new contributions in the form of bilinear-trilinear combination of R-parity violating (RPV) couplings that are enhanced by large tanbeta. We also improve by a few orders of magnitude, bounds on several combinations of RPV parameters.Item B--> X_s + gamma in Supersymmetry without R-parity(ARXIV, 2004-11) Vaidya, RishikeshWe present a systematic analysis of the decay B--> X_s + gamma at the leading log within the framework of Supersymmetry without R-parity. We point out some new contributions in the form of bilinear-trilinear combination of R-parity violating (RPV) couplings that are enhanced by large tanbeta. We also improve by a few orders of magnitude, bounds on several combinations of R-parity violating parametersItem Working group report: High energy and collider physics(Springer, 2004-12) Vaidya, RishikeshThis is a summary of the projects undertaken by the working group I on high energy and collider physics.
