Factorial Moments in a Generalized Lattice Gas Model
We construct a simple multicomponent lattice gas model in one dimension in
which each site can either be empty or occupied by at most one particle of any
one of species. Particles interact with a nearest neighbor interaction
which depends on the species involved. This model is capable of reproducing the
relations between factorial moments observed in high--energy scattering
experiments for moderate values of . The factorial moments of the negative
binomial distribution can be obtained exactly in the limit as becomes
large, and two suitable prescriptions involving randomly drawn nearest neighbor
interactions are given. These results indicate the need for considerable care
in any attempt to extract information regarding possible critical phenomena
from empirical factorial moments.Comment: 15 pages + 1 figure (appended as postscript file), REVTEX 3.0,

Extended-soft-core Baryon-Baryon Model II. Hyperon-Nucleon Interaction
The YN results are presented from the Extended-soft-core (ESC) interactions.
They consist of local- and non-local-potentials due to (i) One-boson-exchange
(OBE), with pseudoscalar-, vector-, scalar-, and axial-vector-nonets, (ii)
Diffractive exchanges, (iii) Two-pseudoscalar exchange, and (iv)
Meson-pair-exchange (MPE). This model, called ESC04, describes NN and YN in a
unified way using broken flavor SU(3)-symmetry. Novel ingredients are the
inclusion of (i) the axial-vector-mesons, (ii) a zero in the scalar- and
axial-vector meson form factors. We describe simultaneous fits to the NN- and
YN-data, using four options in the ESC-model. Very good fits were obtained.
G-matrix calculations with these four options are also reported. The obtained
well depths (U_\Lambda, U_\Sigma, U_\Xi) reveal distinct features of ESC04a-d.
The \Lambda\Lambda-interactions are demonstrated to be consistent with the
observed data of_{\Lambda\Lambda}^6He. The possible three-body effects are
investigated by considering phenomenologically the changes of the vector-meson
masses in a nuclear medium.Comment: preprint vesion 66 pages, two-column version 27 pages, 17 figure
Possible scenarios for soft and semi-hard components structure in central hadron-hadron collisions in the TeV region
Possible scenarios in hh collisions in the TeV regions are discussed in full
phase space. It is shown that at such high energies one should expect strong
KNO scaling violation and a ln(s) increase of the average charged multiplicity
of the semi-hard component, resulting in a huge mini-jet production.Comment: 20 pages, 9 PS figures included, LaTeX2e with AMSmath, epsfi
Specifications for MSE trials for Bluefin tuna in the North Atlantic
This document is a “straw-man” draft of detailed MSE trial specifications for Bluefin tuna in the North Atlantic which, we suggest, are a desirable outcome from the ICCAT meeting on this topic to be held in Monterey over 21-23 January 2016. Such a specification document requires many decisions at a quite complex and detailed level, desirably after full discussion at the meeting. The fact that specific suggestions have been made below is not to suggest that the authors necessarily consider that those reflect the decisions which should be made. Rather their purpose is to assist clarify the totality and nature of decisions required by way of examples. Given this draft nature of this document, and its intended further development during the meeting, the text has yet to be “polished” (to include references, etc.)
Quark-hadron phase transition with surface fluctuation
The effect of surface fluctuation on the observables of quark-hadron phase
transition is studied. The Ginzburg-Landau formalism is extended by the
inclusion of an extra term in the free energy that depends on the vertical
displacements from a flat surface. The probability that a bin has a particular
net displacement is determined by lattice simulation, where the physics input
is color confinement. The surface fluctuation from bin to bin is related to
multiplicity fluctuation, which in turn is measured by the factorial moments.
It is found that both the F-scaling behavior and the scaling exponent are
essentially unaffected by the inclusion of surface fluctuation.Comment: 9 pages, LaTex, 7 figures in a single postscript file, submitted to

Bose-Einstein source of intermittency in hadronic interactions
The multi-particle Bose-Einstein correlations are the source of
''intermittency'' in high energy hadronic collisions. The power-law like
increase of factorial moments with decreasing bin size was obtained by complete
event weighing technique with gaussian approximation of space-time particle
emitting source shape. The value of source size parameter was found to be
higher than the common one fitted with the help of the standard Handbury
Brown-Twiss procedure.Comment: 12
Soft-core meson-baryon interactions. I. One-hadron-exchange potentials
The Nijmegen soft-core model for the pseudoscalar-meson baryon interaction is
derived, analogous to the Nijmegen NN and YN models. The interaction
Hamiltonians are defined and the resulting amplitudes for one-meson-exchange
and one-baryon-exchange in momentum space are given for the general mass case.
The partial wave projection is carried through and explicit expressions for the
momentum space partial wave meson-baryon potentials are presented.Comment: 25 pages, 2 PostScript figures, revtex4, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Clan Structure Analysis and Rapidity Gap Probability
Clan structure analysis in rapidity intervals is generalized from negative
binomial multiplicity distribution to the wide class of compound Poisson
distributions. The link of generalized clan structure analysis with correlation
functions is also established. These theoretical results are then applied to
minimum bias events and evidentiate new interesting features, which can be
inspiring and useful in order to discuss data on rapidity gap probability at
TEVATRON and HERA.Comment: (14 pages in Plain TeX plus 5 Postscript Figures, all compressed via

Soft-core meson-baryon interactions. II. and scattering
The potential includes the t-channel exchanges of the scalar-mesons
and f_0, vector-meson , tensor-mesons f_2 and f_2' and the
Pomeron as well as the s- and u-channel exchanges of the nucleon N and the
resonances , Roper and S_{11}. These resonances are not generated
dynamically. We consider them as, at least partially, genuine three-quark
states and we treat them in the same way as the nucleon. The latter two
resonances were needed to find the proper behavior of the phase shifts at
higher energies in the corresponding partial waves. The soft-core -model
gives an excellent fit to the empirical S- and P-wave phase shifts up
to T_{lab}=600 MeV. Also the scattering lengths have been reproduced well and
the soft-pion theorems for low-energy scattering are satisfied. The
soft-core model for the interaction is an SU_f(3)-extension of the
soft-core -model. The potential includes the t-channel exchanges
of the scalar-mesons a_0, and f_0, vector-mesons , and
, tensor-mesons a_2, f_2 and f_2' and the Pomeron as well as u-channel
exchanges of the hyperons and . The fit to the empirical S-, P- and D-wave phase shifts up to T_{lab}=600 MeV is reasonable and
certainly reflects the present state of the art. Since the various
phase shift analyses are not very consistent, also scattering observables are
compared with the soft-core -model. A good agreement for the total and
differential cross sections as well as the polarizations is found.Comment: 24 pages, 20 PostScript figures, revtex4, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Hotter, Denser, Faster, Smaller...and Nearly-Perfect: What's the matter at RHIC?
The experimental and theoretical status of the ``near perfect fluid'' at RHIC
is discussed. While the hydrodynamic paradigm for understanding collisions at
RHIC is well-established, there remain many important open questions to address
in order to understand its relevance and scope. It is also a crucial issue to
understand how the early equilibration is achieved, requiring insight into the
active degrees of freedom at early times.Comment: 10 Pages, 13 Figures, submitted to the proceedings of the Second
