Amitava Datta is an Indian scientist and professor working in the area of high energy physics, especially in context of new physics through direct (particle production) and indirect (loop effects).[1][2][3]
He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in 1969 from the Scottish Church College under the University of Calcutta, and MSc and PhD degrees in physics from Visva Bharati in 1971 and 1977, respectively. He joined Jadavpur University as a lecturer in 1981 and was subsequently promoted to professor in 1998. In 2008, he moved to the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata as a professor. He held Visiting Positions at Fermilab, CERN and different research institutes of India.[4]
Research
He was the first to perform complete calculations of the amplitude of Do-D-o mixing, and the analyses of the consequence of Bo-B-o. He also derived new bounds on masses and couplings of gauge bosons, exotic fermions and supersymmetric particles using the data from the Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider at CERN and the Tevatron collider at Fermilab.[5]
