Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) is a methodology that estimates the likelihood that various levels of earthquake-caused ground motion will be exceeded at a given location in a given future time-period. LLNL has been developing the methodology and codes in support of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) needs for reviews of site licensing of nuclear power plants, since 1978. A number of existing computer codes have been validated and still can lead to ranges of hazard estimates in some cases. Until now, the seismic hazard community had not agreed on any specific method for evaluation of these codes. The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) and the Pacific Engineering Earthquake Research (PEER) center organized an exercise in testing of existing codes with the aim of developing a series of standard tests that future developers could use to evaluate and calibrate their own codes. Seven code developers participated in the exercise, on a voluntary basis. Lawrence Livermore National laboratory participated with some support from the NRC. The final product of the study will include a series of criteria for judging of the validity of the results provided by a computer code. This EERI/PEER project was first planned to be completed by June …

The Naive Parton Model is revisited in conjunction with some data collected with BRAHMS spectrometers at RHIC.

Properties of transverse momentum spectra and rapidity dependence of protons and anti-protons in Au-Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN}) = 200 GeV are discussed. The net-proton yields are approximately constant at |y| < 1 and increases towards y {approx} 3. The mean rapidity loss is estimated to be in the range of 1.9 < {delta}y < 2.4.
