We apply the concept of self-organized criticality in statistical physics to the study of multihadron production in high energy collisions.
It is suggested that the colorless systems of interacting soft-gluons in large-rapidity-gap events are open dynamical complex systems in which self-organized criticality and BTW-clusters play an important role. Theoretical arguments and…
The critical behavior of quarks undergoing phase transition to hadrons is considered in the framework of the Ising model. It is found that spatial fluctuations do not alter the F-scaling result obtained earlier in the Ginzberg-Landau…
Recent observations of exotic hadrons have stimulated the theoretical investigation of the internal structure of hadrons. While all hadrons are ultimately composed of quarks and gluons bound by the strong interaction, quark clustering…
Recent developments and results on the comparison of gluon to quark jets are discussed. A most important topic is the introduction of explicit energy scales of the jets. The scaling violation of the fragmentation function and the increase…
Gluon jets are identified in e+e- hadronic annihilation events by tagging two quark jets in the same hemisphere of an event. The gluon jet is defined inclusively as all the particles in the opposite hemisphere. Gluon jets defined in this…
It is proposed, that color-singlet gluon-clusters can be formed in hadrons as a consequence of self-organized criticality (SOC) in systems of interacting soft gluons, and that the properties of such spatiotemporal complexities can be probed…
The separate study of quark and gluon jets is vital for the interpretation of multiple variables behaviour observed in both high-energy hadron and heavy-ion collisions in the present and future experiments. We propose a set of jet-energy…
The exotic nature of many strongly correlated materials at reasonably high temperatures, for instance cuprate superconductors in their normal state, has lead to the suggestion that such behavior occurs within a quantum critical region where…

Quarkonium production in high-energy hadronic collisions is a useful tool to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics, from the proton and nucleus structure to deconfinement and the properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma…
We introduced recently a new theoretical scheme which accounts for hydrodynamically expanding bulk matter, jets, and the interaction between the two. Important for the particle production at intermediate values of transverse momentum (p_t)…
We suggest a tetracritical fixed point to naturally occur in strongly interacting theories. As a fundamental example we analyze the temperature--quark chemical potential phase diagram of QCD with fermions in the adjoint representation of…
Radiation of gluons gives rise to extra jets in top quark events that can lead to complications in event reconstruction and mass measurement. I review recent results for gluon radiation in top quark production and decay, and discuss their…
While "quark" and "gluon" jets are often treated as separate, well-defined objects in both theoretical and experimental contexts, no precise, practical, and hadron-level definition of jet flavor presently exists. To remedy this issue, we…
The study of the differences of the fragmentation of quarks and gluons to jets of hadrons gives insight into the fundamental structure of QCD. Results from different approaches to properties of quarks and gluons are shown. The colour factor…
