Masroor Bukhari
Thank you for visiting my academia pages.
I am a particle physicist by training and pursue elementary particle physics and astrophysics research studies as my principal interests, mainly in order to understand the fields/matter and space-time. In addition, owing to my long-standing interest and studies in biophysics and neurophysiology (since 1994), I had earlier been also involved in developing applications of physics principles, models and techniques in biological and cognitive sciences.
My current research interests are in dark matter research, space precision instrument design, mesoscopic physics, experimental tests of quantum electrodynamics, investigations on the origins of charge and invariant mass, and variations on the casimir effect.
I am also involved in developing paradigms in interdisciplinary science and promoting public awareness in this field with my public talks, invited lectures and workshops in the South, Southeast Asia and Middle East regions. I am greatly indebted to my great Almae maters, The University of Houston (Physics Department), the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH, and the Schuster Labs (Physics Department), The University of Manchester, for excellent graduate and post-doctoral training. I now extend that training to budding minds and scholars in the developing world, who have brilliant, fertile minds and immense potential, second to none in the whole world.
In reality I am just a pupil myself, know nothing about many things, and am simply trying to learn the ropes of science, while mesmerized by its grandeur.
I do not believe in borders and just call myself a citizen of the blue planet, and love each bit and each creature of it, without any prejudice. I was born and raised in the beautiful and historic city of Hyderabad Sind (Pakistan), which used to be my hometown and I still love and miss it, just as I love and miss my second home, Houston (Texas, USA).
What I seek are truth and knowledge, and what I pray and strive for are peace and harmony, and for human dignity to prevail everywhere.

CLFV transition for which very stringent limits exist, there is still a relatively large discovery space for the
CLFV transition, potentially to be explored by the EIC. With the latest detector design of ECCE (EIC Comprehensive Chromodynamics Experiment) and projected integral luminosity of the EIC, we find the
-leptons created in the DIS process
are expected to be identified with high efficiency. A first ECCE simulation study, restricted to the 3-prong
-decay mode and with limited statistics for the Standard Model backgrounds, estimates that the EIC will be able to improve the current exclusion limit on
CLFV by an order of magnitude. The very high vertex resolution of the ECCE detector configuration..
This report consists of three volumes. Volume I is an executive summary of our findings and developed concepts. In Volume II we describe studies of a wide range of physics measurements and the emerging requirements on detector acceptance and performance. Volume III discusses general-purpose detector concepts and the underlying technologies to meet the physics requirements. These considerations will form the basis for a world-class experimental program that aims to increase our understanding of the fundamental structure of all visible matter.
p)n cross sections have been measured at 4-momentum transfers of Q
2 = 4.5±0.5 (GeV/c)2
over a range of neutron recoil momenta, pr, reaching up to ∼ 1.0 GeV/c. The data were obtained
at fixed neutron recoil angles θnq = 35◦
, 45◦
and 75◦ with respect to the 3-momentum transfer ~q.
The new data agree well with previous data which reached pr ∼ 500 MeV/c. At θnq = 35◦
and
45◦
, final state interactions (FSI), meson exchange currents (MEC) and isobar currents (IC) are
suppressed and the plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) provides the dominant cross section
contribution. The new data are compared to recent theoretical calculations, where we observe a
significant discrepancy for recoil momenta pr > 700 MeV/c.

Book Description:
Light is the most extraordinary, fundamental, and extremely valuable entity in our universe, a boundless entity and an enigma similar to our vast universe, and at the same time the most mysterious and deep of all entities. It is a quantum of energy, a particle, the photon, and also a wave with a myriad number of interesting properties. The journey of a single photon of light from the early epochs of the universe to today, without moving an inch in its own frame of reference, is also a miracle. At the heart of the creation of the universe, it was probably some extraordinary and highly-energetic form of a quantum of light that created everything (possibly including space-time), however, the light itself remained locked in the high-energy plasma of the primordial universe (the Primeval Fireball) for nearly four hundred thousand years, till finally the first atoms were formed and the light was released, embarking upon a long and interesting journey in space and time since then, transcending into various forms and with that witnessing the evolution of our universe and its various eons.
The progression of the understanding of light by the human mind has been a long journey, which took thousands of years, at least five millennia, witnessing a lot of upheaval in the world, similar to the billions of years’ sojourn of a photon (the particle of light) since the light parted from matter (the so-called Decoupling or Recombination era.) This book is an exciting story of light and the universe and everything about them for anyone interested in learning what light is, what its forms are, all the fascinating effects, and interactions it exhibits, and in addition, what is our universe, how it began, what are the elementary particles and radiation that constitute it and what are the various important objects the universe is made of, ranging from the smallest to the largest, written in the form of seven essays (in simple words, without any formulas or mathematical equations.) The topics of these essays include an introduction to the history of scientific thought, the major scientific findings and the key figures who made them, the nature and properties of light, an introduction to contemporary physical cosmology, essential topics in astronomy, especially related to star formation and evolution, supernovae explosions, the bewildering supermassive and extremely bright compact objects (such as quasars and blazars) and the large-scale structure in the universe, the strange world of quantum physics and its basic tenets, and the far pavilions, beyond light and infinities, the consciousness and the human mind, covering all the important topics of modern physics. In short, this book is a narration of the creation of both the universe and light and everything about them during their evolution in slightly more than the last thirteen and half billion years of the history of our universe, and how it connects to the consciousness and our mind, with up-to-date information and scientific facts, written in an easy-to-understand narrative. With an in-depth critique of the deep mysteries of space, time, matter, quantum fields, energy, information, the mind, and consciousness, this book could be the starting point for anyone who would like to embark upon the path of knowing nature of reality, in consonance with discovering our own existence and our place in the universe, as well as a supplementary text for the students and scholars in science.
