• Mass formulae for Λ-hypernuclei

Simple considerations regarding the Hamiltonian and the ground state wavefunctions of Λ-hypernuclei are used to derive several mass formulae. The parameters that occur in the mass formulae are determined by fitting the experimental binding energies. Information regarding the various interactions in hypernuclal is deduced from the values of these parameters. The ‘best’ mass formula is further used to predict energies of other light hypernuclei. Relationship between binding energies are also suggested and checked with observed data.

• Spectral distribution theory—Some recent applications

The application of spectral distribution theory for binding energy, spectra and occupancies using universal-sd interaction in (sd) shell and for Gamow-Teller and M1 strength sums in both (fp) and (sd)-shell is described.

• Discussion on a possible neutrino detector located in India

We have identified some important and worthwhile physics opportunities with a possible neutrino detector located in India. Particular emphasis is placed on the geographical advantage with a stress on the complimentary aspects with respect to other neutrino detectors already in operation.

• Working group report: Neutrino and astroparticle physics

This is the report of neutrino and astroparticle physics working group at WHEPP-7. Discussions and work on CP violation in long baseline neutrino experiments, ultra high energy neutrinos, supernova neutrinos and water Cerenkov detectors are discussed.

• Beta decay rates for nuclei with 115&lt;A&lt;140 for r-process nucleosynthesis

For r-process nucleosynthesis the β-decay rates for a number of neutron-rich intermediate heavy nuclei are calculated. The model for the β-strength function is able to reproduce the observed half-lives quite well.

• Beta decay rates of nuclei with $65 &lt; A &lt; 75$ for pre-supernova and supernova evolution

The half-lives are calculated for the $\beta^{-}$ decay process for nuclei in the mass range $\sim 65-75$ relevant for the core of a massive star at the late burning stage of stellar evolution and the collapse that leads to supernova explosion. These half-lives and rates are calculated by expressing the $\beta^{-}$ Gamow-Teller decay strengths in terms of smoothed bivariate strength densities. These strength densities are constructed in the framework of spectral averaging theory for two-body nuclear Hamiltonian in a large nuclear shell model space. The method has a natural extension to electron captures as well as weak interaction rates for 𝑟 and $rp$-processes.
