    Research in Nuclear and Particle Physics has been pursued in India over the past eight decades. It has gone through ups and downs in the past and currently many opportunities exist for pursuing research in these fields both in the country and abroad. I shall discuss some of these possibilities in this talk.

    We provide a comprehensive discussion of the phenomenology of flavourful axions, including both standard Peccei-Quinn (PQ) axions, associated with the solution to the strong CP problem, and non-standard axion-like particles (ALPs). Presenting the general flavourful axion-fermion and axion-photon coupling, we calculate flavour-violating decays of mesons and leptons involving a flavourful axion....

    By considering the nucleus as a vibrating liquid drop, and assuming the potential to be a function of the elongation β, and triaxiality γ, of the nucleus, the Bohr Hamiltonian can be solved to give the so-called K=0+, β-vibrational and K=2+ γ-vibrational bands. However, as summarized in the review by Garrett[1], very few of the observed 0+2 bands in deformed nuclei possess the properties...

    Non-holomorphic soft supersymmetry breaking interactions will be discussed in relation to MSSM. Unlike MSSM, it is possible to have a higgsino as a single component type of dark matter candidate while having a low electroweak fine-tuning. Muon g-2 may also be enhanced.

    In this talk the goal is to bring out why neutrinos hold a prominent place in today's physics. The neutrino is uncharged and interacts very weakly. As a consequence, over long distances it is a faithful messenger for information about its source, e.g., the sun. But the weakness of its interaction also makes neutrinos quite difficult to detect. The story of the neutrino is exciting and is yet...

    The decay rate of neutrinoless double beta process is expected to give the first direct measure of the neutrino mass, if the corresponding nuclear matrix element can be reliably calculated [1]. A major complication in extracting the neutrino mass from the half-life of this decay is the uncertainty in the nuclear matrix element.

    We propose a fermionic dark matter model by extending Standard Model with a Dirac fermion and a real pseudoscalar. The fermion dark matter particle interacts with the Standard Model sector via the Higgs portal through a dimension five interaction term as also through a pseudoscalar interaction term. The parameter space of the model is then constrained by using the vacuum stability and...

    Investigation of high spin states of trans-lead nuclei attracted much attention in recent years. But nuclear structure of such nuclei largely remains unexplored mainly because of the difficulty in production via fusion-evaporation reactions along with large background due to much stronger and competing fission channel. Also the difficulty in extracting the targeted information and...

Both single particle and collective excitations with various shapes, namely, prolate, oblate and triaxial have been observed in this region in many Cu, Zn and Ni nuclei [1,2,3,4,5].

    Nuclei just below the doubly magic 208Pb (${\it Z}$=82, ${\it N}$=126) are near-spherical and isomers are realized due to the hindered decays from states with predominantly high-j contributions to those with relatively lower-j values. The high-j orbitals in this region are h$_{11/2}$ for protons and i$_{13/2}$ for neutrons. Tl (${\it Z}$=81) isotopes correspond to one proton hole and a few...
