Abstract
Sinai billiard systems are studied numerically and analytically. Let be the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, the mean free time of the point mass, and the scaling factor of the size of convex scatters (so that implies vanishing scatters). The following universal behavior is conjectured for any periodic Lorentz model in -space:
