abstract

In this paper we show that QCD at high energies leads to the multiplicity distribution $\frac{\sigma_n}{\sigma_{ \rm in}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{1}{N}\,\Lb \frac{N\,-\,1}{N}\Rb^{n - 1}$, (where $N$ denotes the average number of particles), and to entanglement entropy $S \,=\,\ln N$, confirming that the partonic stat at high energy is maximally entangled. However, the value of $N$ depends on the kinematics of the parton cascade. In particular, for DIS$N = xG(x,Q)$ , where $xG$ is the gluon structure function, whil for hadron-hadron collisions, $N \propto Q^2_S(Y)$, where $Q_s$ denotes the saturation scale. We checked that this multiplicity distribution describes the LHC data for low multiplicities $n \,<\,(3 \div 5)\,N$, exceeding it for larger values of $n$. We view this as a result of our assumption, that the system of partons in hadron-hadron collisions atc.m. rapidity $Y=0$ is dilute. We show that the data can be described at large multiplicities in the parton model, if we do not make this assumption.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quark-antiquark entanglement entropy in quarkonium is derived from light-front wave functions, reduces to the Shannon entropy of TMDs, and shows strong polarization dependence for spin-1 mesons.

  2. Investigating QCD Dynamical Entropy in high-energy nuclear collisions

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using geometric scaling and Glauber-Gribov nuclear gluon distributions, the authors find that the QCD dynamical entropy in proton-nucleus collisions is essentially independent of the atomic mass number A, while the en...
