Entropy and multifractal analysis of multiplicity distributions from pp simulated events up to LHC energies

Abstract

Using three different Monte Carlo generators of high energy proton-proton collisions (HIJING, NEXUS, and PSM) we study the energy dependence of multiplicity distributions of charged particles including the LHC energy range. Results are used for calculation of the information entropy, Renyi's dimensions and other multifractal characteristics of particle production.
