Optimality, entropy and complexity for nonextensive quantum scattering (Q5954879)

In the paper, by introducing Tsallis-like entropies, the optimality, the complexities, and the nonextensive statistical behavior of quantum states in hadronic scattering are studied. A measure of complexity of quantum scattering in terms of Tsallis-like entropies is proposed. The nonextensivity indices are determined from the experimental entropies by a fit with the optimal entropies. The latters are obtained from the principle of minimum distance in the space of states. The experimental evidence for the nonextensive statistical behavior of the (\(J,\theta\))-quantum scattering states is interpreted as a manifestation of the presence of quarks and gluons.
