The colours of quarks as new degrees of freedom

TL;DR

This paper explores the origin of quark colors, deriving the number of colors from fractal properties in a statistical model, and examines related properties like coupling constants and electric charges.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach linking quark colors to fractal properties, providing new insights into their fundamental nature.

Findings

Number of quark colors derived as three from fractal properties

Reproduction of the quark-gluon coupling constant

Study of intrinsic electric charge properties of quarks

Abstract

The origin of the colours of quarks has been explored and the number of colours equal to three has been derived from the fractal properties suggested in the statistical model.The quark gluon coupling constant has been reproduced and the properties of the intrinsic electric charges of quarks have also been studied.
