d-Au and p-p collisions at RHIC and the multichain Monte Carlo Dpmjet-III
In this paper we compare systematically the two-component Dual Parton Model
(DPM) event generator Dpmjet-III to d-Au and p-p data from RHIC. In this
process we are able to improve the model. The need for fusion of chains and a
recalibration of the model to obtain collision scaling in h-A and d-A
collisions was found already in previous comparisons. Here, comparing to
transverse momentum distributions of identified charged hadrons we find also
the need to modify the transverse momentum distributions in the decay of
hadronic strings, the basic building blocks of the model on soft hadronic
collisions.Comment: 8 pages, 13 figures, Based on a contribution to a workshop "QCD at

Antibaryon to Baryon Production Ratios in Pb-Pb and p-p collision at LHC energies of the DPMJET-III Monte Carlo
A sizable component of stopped baryons is predicted for pp and P bP b
collisions at LHC. Based on an analysis of RHIC data within framework of our
multichain Monte Carlo DPMJET-III the LHC predictions are presented.Comment: Presented at "Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC: last call for

RHIC data and the multichain Monte Carlo DPMJET-II
Using data from RHIC we are able to systematically improve the two-component
Dual Parton Model (DPM) event generator DPMJET-III. Introducing percolation
parametrized as fusion of chains the model describes multiplicities and
pseudorapidity distributions in nucleus-nucleus collisions at all centralities.
Guided by the d-Au data from RHIC we recalibrate the model to obtain collision
scaling in h-A and d-A collisions.Comment: 8 pages, Based on a poster submitted to the 17th International

The effect of wind and currents on gas exchange in an estuarine system
The objectives were to develop a non-volatile tracer to use in gas exchange experiments in laterally unconfined systems and to study applications of deliberate tracers in limnology and oceanography. Progress was made on both fronts but work on the development of the non-volatile tracer proved to be more difficult and labor intensive that anticipated so no field experiments using non-volatile tracers was performed as yet. In the search for a suitable non-volatile tracer for an ocean scale gas exchange experiment a tracer was discovered which does not have the required sensitivity for a large scale experiment, but is very easy to analyze and will be well suited for smaller experiments such as gas exchange determinations on rivers and streams. Sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, was used successfully as a volatile tracer along with tritium as a non-volatile tracer to study gas exchange rates from a primary stream. This is the first gas exchange experiment in which gas exchange rates were determined on a head water stream where significant groundwater input occurs along the reach. In conjunction with SF6, Radon-222 measurements were performed on the groundwater and in the stream. The feasibility of using a combination of SF6 and radon is being studied to determine groundwater inputs and gas exchange of rates in streams with significant groundwater input without using a non-volatile tracer
Inclusive distributions at the LHC as predicted from the DPMJET-III model with chain fusion
DPMJET-III with chain fusion is used to calculate inclusive distributions of
Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energies. We present rapidity distributions as well as
scaled multiplicities at mid-rapidity as function of the collision energy and
the number of participants.Comment: Presented at "Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC: last call for

Antiparticle to Particle Production Ratios in Hadron-Hadron and d-Au Collisions in the DPMJET-III Monte Carlo
To understand baryon stopping we analyse new RHIC and Fermilab data within
the framework of the multichain Monte Carlo DPMJET-III. The present
consideration is restricted to to hadron-hadron and d-Au collisions.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figures. The paper is expanded in a mayor way to include

Singularity-Free Electrodynamics for Point Charges and Dipoles: Classical Model for Electron Self-Energy and Spin
It is shown how point charges and point dipoles with finite self-energies can
be accomodated into classical electrodynamics. The key idea is the introduction
of constitutive relations for the electromagnetic vacuum, which actually
mirrors the physical reality of vacuum polarization. Our results reduce to
conventional electrodynamics for scales large compared to the classical
electron radius cm. A classical simulation for a
structureless electron is proposed, with the appropriate values of mass, spin
and magnetic moment.Comment: 3 page
