Research Interests:

Theoretical Nuclear Physics :

I pursued Doctorate in the area of Theoretical Nuclear Physics, where Preformed Cluster-decay Model (PCM) and Dynamical Cluster
-decay Model (DCM), based on well known Quantum Mechanical Fragmentation Theory (QMFT), have been advanced in collaboration of
Gupta and collaborators, to study the nuclear structure and heavy ion collision (HIC) problems. PCM pertains to ground-state decay of parent
nuclei whereas the DCM incorporates decay features of excited compound nuclei (CN) formed in HIC. PCM is extended to study the effects of
deformations and orientations in exotic cluster radioactivity. As large numbers of experiments are being planned at extreme conditions of temp-
erature to study the exotic behaviour of nuclear systems, availability of temperature dependent nuclear potentials is highly desirable. In order to
meet this challenge, the calculations and compilation of fitted constants in Seeger’s semi-empirical mass formula, has been carried out, which
should be extremely useful for future studies/investigations. This data-set has also been used to study the decay of hot and rotating compound
nucleus CN ⁴⁸Cr^*, ²⁰²Pb^* and ²⁴⁶Bk^*.

The DCM has also been extended to study the role of nuclear deformation and orientation in CN decay and its application to heavy mass CN
(like ²⁴⁶Bk^*) whereby it assumes significant contribution of deformation and orientations. This work has the potential of getting extended to
other mass regions to have a good understanding of nuclear structure in general and nuclear dynamics in particular. With present experience
I can work independently on nuclear structure problems together with heavy ion collisions, an area opening up to extend the nuclear landscape.

The (ground-state) cluster radioactive-decays have been studied using for the first time the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory within the preformed cluster model (PCM) of Gupta and collaborators during the post-doctoral research. Interestingly, the RMF theory supports the concept of preformation of both the alpha and heavier clusters in radioactive nuclei.
