Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone-boson Dark Matter from Three Complex Scalars

This study explores a dark matter model in which a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson arises as a viable dark matter candidate from the spontaneous and soft breaking of global $\mathrm U(1)$ symmetries and stabilized by a residual $\mathbb{Z}_3$ discrete symmetry. The model introduces three complex scalar …

Effect of quantum gravity on specific heat of solid featured image

Effect of quantum gravity on specific heat of solid

All possible theories of quantum gravity suggest the existence of a minimal length. As a consequence, the usual Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP) is replaced by a more general uncertainty principle known as the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). The dynamics of all quantum mechanical …

Effect of Gravity in Quantum Mechanics

All possible theories of quantum gravity suggest the existence of a minimal length. Therefore, the usual Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP) is replaced by a more general uncertainty principle known as the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). The dynamics of all quantum mechanical system gets …

Ecology and Conservation Strategy of Bats in Rural Area

This study was conducted in a 1100 square kilometer area between the Beki and Manas Rivers, extending from the railway line in the north to the Brahmaputra River in the south. Three bat species were identified: Indian Fruit Bat, Leaf-Nosed Bat, and Chungabaduli.
