Diffractive patterns in deep-inelastic scattering and parton genealogy
St\'ephane Munier
TL;DR
This paper reveals a surprising analogy between diffractive patterns in deep-inelastic scattering and genealogical tree fluctuations in branching processes, suggesting a new perspective on scattering phenomena.
Contribution
It introduces a novel connection between high-energy scattering patterns and branching diffusion process fluctuations, bridging physics and stochastic processes.
Findings
Diffractive scattering patterns follow the same statistical law as genealogical tree fluctuations.
Establishes a new interdisciplinary link between particle physics and stochastic process theory.
Provides insights that could influence future research in scattering and complex systems.
Abstract
We report on our recent observation that the occurrence of diffractive patterns in the scattering of electrons off nuclei obeys the same law as the fluctuations of the height of genealogical trees in branching diffusion processes.
