Abstract:

The question whether, if yes, how useful information on hadronization can be directly extracted from experimental data is discussed, and the well-known cosmic ray data of JACEE-Collaboration are used to demonstrate how the proposed method works. It is observed that Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) manifests itself also in hadronization processes. The obtained result strongly suggests that the underlying dynamics of hadronization is the BTW-avalanche Dynamics for Complex Systems.

Key words: hadronization, fluctuation, self-organized criticality
