Present Research Activities
a) Theoretical Programmes:
Theoretical research works are being carried out for the last 30 years. Some works have been done in
collaboration with the Scientists of Theoretical Physics Division (BARC), Laser & Plasma Technology
Division (BARC) and Institute of Plasma Research (Gandhinagar). The works are being conducted
under the ongoing DST & DAE sponsored research projects of which myself is the Principal
Investigator. Works are also done in the 8 completed research projects sponsored by DAE & DST in
which myself acted as Investigator/Principal Investigator since 1984 and rendered leadership in the
programmes. The areas covered.
i) Waves and Instabilities in dusty plasmas with application to the cosmic plasma environment
like intersteller space, cometary tails, and astrophysical plasmas. Dust charge fluctuation and
shock wave generation, formation of voids, etc.
ii)
iii)
iv)

Ion Acoustic waves in a complex plasma.
Inertial confinement related problems, nonlinear wave interaction and instabilities in laser
produced plasmas including self generated magnetic fields, SBS, SRS, energy transport,
radiation transport, target design, Jet formation, parametric instabilities, Richmayer Meshkove
(RM) and Releigh Taylor (RT) instabilities and study of Equation of state of solids due to
ablatively driven shocks.
Linear and nonlinear wave processes in plasmas, nonlinear optical processes in plasmas,
induced magnetization, magnetic field generation in space plasmas and astrophysical plasma
for low and high frequency waves and instabilities, etc.
b) Experimental Programme:
Recently we have initiated a collaborative research programme with the Scientists of High Pressure
Physics Division (BARC) and Prof. D. Batani (University of Milan, Italy) investigate analytically
and numerically the growth of Richt-Mayer Meshkove (RM) and Releigh Taylor (RT) instability
in ablatively driven shocks in multilayer target in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) experiment.
We have also conducted experiments in the laboratory of High Pressure Physics Division (BARC,
Mumbai). Experimental work related to Instrumentation Science (Analytical Instruments) in
collaboration with Prof. R. Bhar of the Dept. of Instrumentation Science is being conducted since
last 5 years and some other future programmes are been taken up.
