The discovery of gravitational waves (GWs) has opened a new window to observe our universe which is inaccessible with other probes. Since 2015, almost 100 GW signals have been observed, allowing us to probe the nature of gravity, study the expansion of the universe as well as probe the equation-of-state of dense nuclear matter. Within the next decade, GW detectors are envisaged to undergo...
The Pierre Auger Observatory, the largest cosmic ray experiment in the world, spans 3,000 km² and employs multiple detection mechanisms for ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). Currently, the observatory is undergoing an upgrade to AugerPrime, which introduces a Radio Detector (RD) that enhances detection capabilities within a zenith angle range of 60 to 85 degrees. The RD offers a 100%...
The decays of beauty mesons provide interesting opportunities to study CP violation, for which hadronic B-decays are excellent probes. However, the non-perturbative nature of hadronic decays poses significant challenges for theoretical predictions. To address these complexities, we employ SU(3) flavor symmetry, which assumes the quarks up, down and strange are equivalent under the strong...
