On the possible space-time fractality of the emitting source

TL;DR

This paper numerically explores the potential fractal nature of the particle-emitting source in high-energy physics, linking it to observed Bose-Einstein correlations and supporting the idea of space-time fractality.

Contribution

It introduces a simple space-time random cascade model to connect spectral intermittency with fractal structures in the emitting source.

Findings

Fractal structures influence Bose-Einstein correlations

Numerical evidence supports space-time fractality hypothesis

Intermittent spectral behavior linked to source fractality

Abstract

Using simple space-time implementation of the random cascade model we investigate numerically a conjecture made some time ago which was joining the intermittent behaviour of spectra of emitted particles with the possible fractal structure of the emitting source. We demonstrate that such details are seen, as expected, in the Bose-Einstein correlations between identical particles. \\
