Abstract

We study the non-extensive Tsallis statistics and its applications to QCD and high energy physics, and analyze the possible connections of this statistics with a fractal structure of hadrons. Then, we describe how scaling properties of Yang-Mills theories allow the appearance of self-similar structures in gauge fields, which actually behave as fractals. The Tsallis entropic index, qq, is deduced in terms of the field theory parameters, resulting in a good agreement with the value obtained experimentally.
