Dependence of the event fractal dimensions on the colliding nuclei masses Oleg Rogachevsky VHMP 2007 Dubna
What is a fractal ? A fractal is a shape made of parts similar to the whole in some way E.Feder Koch’s arc The fractal dimension of sets observed in the dynamics can be used as quantitative measure of the chaoticity • r - scale • N(r) number of elements in fractal at given scale VHMP-2007
Fractals deal with geometric patterns (represented chaos) and quantitative way of characterizing these patterns. Chaos, in contrast, deals with time evolution and its underlying or distinguishing characteristics Garnett P. Williams “Chaos Theory Tamed” Fractals in Heavy Ion Collisions Collections of small entities (particles or whatever) behave haphazardly, even though physical laws govern the particles individually Deterministic chaos chaos results from deterministic process VHMP-2007

Summary • Fractal dimension analysis are feasible to study event features in the heavy ion collisions • Different dynamics of the particle interactions reveals throw changes of the event fractal dimensions • Changes of fractal dimension caused by jet quenching become more evident with increasing collision energy and masses of colliding nuclei • Fractal dimension analysis can be applied to study event structure at LHC, CBM and NICA.
