V. K. B. Kota

OverviewAI-generated summary

V. K. B. Kota's research program focuses on theoretical nuclear physics, with a particular emphasis on neutrino physics and nuclear structure. Recent publications investigate coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$ u$NS) event rates for various detector materials, including Germanium, Zinc, and Silicon. Kota has also explored the two-neutrino double beta decay of several isotopes using large-scale shell-model studies, and has published work on cross sections of neutral-current neutrino scattering on Molybdenum isotopes.

Further research interests include the application of algebraic methods to nuclear models, such as the use of SU(3) algebras in the interacting boson model and shell model to study nuclear bands. Kota has also investigated proxy-SU(4) symmetry in specific mass regions and the scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) from Sodium and Argon. Additionally, Kota has engaged in research applying coupled Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) approaches to model the seismic response of rock masses in underground research laboratories, including the seismic analysis of cross-tunnels.

With an h-index of 28, over 250 publications, and more than 3,000 citations, Kota is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Collaborations include work with Murat Gökden and Deepesh Yadav, both at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
