Research:

We are working on the Physics of the particle detectors, specifically on the research of gaseous detectors and the scintillation detector.

Bose Institute is contributing to the research program of up-gradation of the ALICE Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) at CERN, Geneva and on the Muon Chamber (CBM-MUCH) of CBM experiment at FAIR, Germany. The goal of the ALICE experiment is to study the physics of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) at low baryonic density and high temperature, whereas that of CBM is to study the QGP physics at low temperature and moderate to high baryon densities. As both these detection systems will use GEM based chambers, we are working on the R&D of these detectors in the High Energy Physics detector laboratory.

An array of seven plastic scintillator detectors is operational at an altitude of about 2200 m above the sea level in the Himalayas at the Centre for Astroparticle Physics & Space Sciences, Darjeeling campus of Bose Institute, for detection of cosmic ray air showers since the end of January 2018. Our group is also involved on the research of such scintillation detectors.

Our R&D program includes research on Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC), Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM), Straw tube detector, Multi Wire Proportional Chamber (MWPC) and Scintillation detector (for cosmic ray study).
