Entropy in hadron-hadron collisions

Abstract

We analyse the entropy properties in the proton-proton 1800 GeV events from the PYTHIA/JETSET Monte Carlo generator following a recent proposal concerning the measurement of entropy in multiparticle systems. The dependence on the number of bins and on the size of the phase-space region is investigated. Our results may serve as a reference sample for experimental data from hadron-hadron and heavy ion collisions.
