PREFACE
During the eighties and nineties, many statistical/thermodynamical models emerged to describe the nucleon structure functions and the energy distribution of quarks. Most of these models describe the compound quarks and gluons inside the nucleon as a Fermi-Dirac or Bose-Einstein gas, confined in an MIT bag with continuous energy levels. These models obtained some relevant features of the nucleons, like the asymmetries between and , the spin-dependent structure functions, and the ratio , for instance. In this work, we reviewed the hadronic models. They use statistical/thermodynamic features to describe the hadrons’ structure functions, polarized and unpolarized. The revised works were described, as far as possible, in chronological order. We believe this book is convenient for researchers and students because it put together several studies about the thermodynamic features of nucleons and their structure function. Because this subject is yet to undergo research, there is no unique approach or model that is in complete accord. I wish to thank Professor Lauro Tomio for his criticism; Professor Tobias Frederico for discussions, and mainly Professor Airton Deppman for the discussion, and for allowing me to use some files in this manuscript.

INTRODUCTION
QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics) is the theory of strong interaction in the standard model. This theory describes the short-range interactions among the subnuclear components, the quarks. The gluons mediate the interactions and the main difference with the QED (Quantum Electrodynamics) is the use of a Lagrangian, where gluons may interact among them (in opposition to the photons from QED, that don’t interact). Although this theory describes many relevant aspects, some open questions have been studied with effective alternative models, respecting the basic principles of QCD. One of the questions that concerns the structure-function is the distribution of energy of quarks inside the nucleon. We show some reasons to use effective models in the following: The perturbative theories (short distances) describe the interactions inside the nucleon (strong interactions between quarks and gluons). However, including more diagrams and details makes this method too complex. We need to include many loopings and renormalizations, which is almost impracticable. In principle, this is already a 3-body problem, without an analytical solution, even in classical cases. On the other hand, the lattice quantum field theory also demands great computational efforts. Some effective models do not include Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics as relevant physical effect, such as, the valon model and perturbative chiral. The parameters fit according to the experimental data available. Field and Feynman6 pointed out that including the Fermi-Dirac , statistics is relevant to describing the sea asymmetry in the nucleon which explains the violation of the Gottfried sum rule7. Another very important characteristic is the confining and the asymptotic freedom, predicted by QCD, considered in the models through the effective potential. The effective temperature for each model is also relevant, and it is interesting to compare the obtained temperature of the different models. The Deep Inelastic scattering (DIS) process between leptons and nucleons has been an indispensable tool in describing the hadron structure. Interest in describing the partonic distribution and the different phenomena

involved, such as the sea asymmetry, strangeness in the nucleon, EMC has generated (Euro Muon Collaboration) effect, and the ratio many theoretical models in recent decades. These models have the appeal of simplicity and are physically wellfounded. The phenomenology to explain such models is in the following way: even though valence quarks must lie in discrete energy levels, they can emit gluons that may split in a quark-antiquark pair, with continuous energy. In the framework of the MIT bag model5, an estimate for the structurefunction was presented by Jaffe8. As it can be speculated, with partons bound in the wee volume of the nucleon, we have not only the dynamic but also the statistical properties; for example, the Pauli exclusion principle should have a relevant effect on PDF (Particle Distribution Function). Most statistical/thermodynamic models proposed in the eighties and nineties consider the confinement given by the MIT bag model, and treat the quark/gluons inside de nucleon as a Fermi-Dirac and BoseEinstein gas of free particles with a continuous spectrum). In this book, we may check the main features of the statistical model. In the next chapters, we describe the statistical models, clarifying focus, motivation, and results. The following papers are studied in chronological order, as follows: 1. Angelini and Pazzi’s works (1982-1983)9 used a statistical model with a Boltzmann distribution and scaling violation. 2. The Cleymans-Thews’ model (1988)10 started with the transition rate of scattering in the framework of the temperature-dependent field theory and explored a statistical way to generate compatible pdfs. 3. The Mac and Ugaz’s work (1989)11 incorporated first-order QCD corrections, introduced by Altarelli and Parisi12. 4. Bickerstaff and Londergan (1990)15 interpreted the finitetemperature property to mimic some volume-dependent effect due to confining. They also discussed the theoretical validity of the ideal gas assumption in detail. 5. The Ganesamurthy, Devanathan, Rajasekaran and Karthiyaini (1994,1996)16,17,18 proposed a thermodynamical bag model, which evolves as a function of . The structure-function they got is practicable for and has the correct asymptotic behavior for ; in addition, they parametrized on and exhibited the scaling behavior.

6. Soffer-Bourrely-Bucella have been working with parametrization based on the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distributions (1995today)19,20,22,23,21. We reviewed the polarized case (1995-today). 7. Bhalerao and Bhalerao et al. (1996, 2000)25,26 introduced finite size corrections to the statistical model and got more accurate results for unpolarized and polarized structure functions. 8. Trevisan, Tomio, Mirez, Frederico (1999 and 2008)27,28 presented a statistical model based on the Dirac equation with a linear confining potential. They also obtained the strangeness in the nucleon. 9. Trevisan and Mirez presented “A very simple statistical model to quarks asymmetry”267 that considers the meson-hadron fluctuations as energy states with some probability varying according to the temperature. 10. Zhang, Shao and Ma (2009)29 intended to present a statistical model using few parameters to fit the data. They also studied the EMC79 effect with the statistical model. 11. Deppman33, and Deppman et al. 34, presented a relation between the fractal structure of the nucleons and Tsallis statistic (nonextensivity). 12. Trevisan and Mirez35 presented a statistical model that considered the nonextensivity introduced by Tsallis112,113. 13. Trevisan, Mirez, and Silva presented a model with different sizes for quarks and gluons to fix the low moment carried by gluons in the previous statistical model.37 14. Trevisan and Mirez gave a version of the nonextensive statistical model applied to the EMC effect. 15. On the framework of the valon model38,30,39, Mirjalili and collaborators studied the statistical approach40,41. Interestingly, despite the fact that the models basically start from the same physical description, there are some remarkable variations such as scale variance, the dependence of the temperature with the Bjorken variable , and different ways of taking into account the polarization.

2.1 Introduction This chapter is a brief introduction to the main concepts of QCD quark models31,32, which we will use in the following chapters. For the process , we initially describe the kinematics for the proton model. After, we do the elastic and inelastic electron-proton scattering process. Finally, we study the momentum distribution of the Bjorken scale.

Note that in Eq. (2.48) there is no scaling. The proton mass is used, instead of the quark mass , to define the dimensionless variable . The presence of free quarks is signaled by the fact that the inelastic structure function is independent of to a fixed value in Eq. (2.48). In the parton model, a connection is created between fundamental particles (quarks) and hadrons. Basically, in the parton model, we have • • • •
The proton is made up of a group of partons. In deep inelastic scattering, the photon interacts with a parton. Partons are elementary particles whose interactions we can calculate. These partons are identified as quarks and gluons. The patron has negligible or null transverse momentum.
So the proton is made up of other particles, the partons; these are elemental. Several types of point protons make up the proton. They can carry different fractions of the energy and total momentum of the proton. We illustrate the momentum distribution of the pattern in Figure (2.7).

The parton model • Reproduces Bjorken’s scaling behavior. • Is a model for the proton structure with structural factors (which are measured experimentally) interpreted as distribution functions of quarks and gluons within the proton, which are independent of the energy scale. • Predicts the Callan-Gross relationship: • Considers the partons as free particles inside the hadron (inelastic structure function is independent of for a value of ) In QCD, some important features • Asymptotic freedom (quarks are treated as free particles inside high energy hadrons). • Confinement, not observing free quarks and gluons, which guarantees the existence of colorless hadrons. • Gauge theory (predicts a massless particle which carries the strong interaction: the gluon). Therefore, QCD fits perfectly into the standard model.

CHAPTER 3 ANGELINI AND PAZZI WORKS
In a paper published by Angelini and Pazzi,9 there was an attempt to obtain thermodynamical information on the quark matter using the experimental data on the nucleon valence quark distribution measured in DIS. The hypothesis is the following: the valence quarks are non-interacting and look like a relativistic Boltzmann gas without any kinematical limits. The authors observed the following problems with these assumptions: • •
The quark interactions, as well as any dynamical effects, should not be very sensible in the IMF except for the region. The absence of kinematical limits does not allow the quark distribution to be zero at x=1.

The proposed valence quark distribution has the form

CHAPTER 4 THE CLEYMANS-THEWS MODEL
J. Cleymans and R.L. Thews10 presented the confined quark/gluons gas with continuous energy levels. The inelastic structure function emerges by using a thermal model. This means value of the hadronic tensor multiplies the Fermi-Dirac thermal distribution for quarks by the mean energy and density, which depends on characteristic temperature and chemical potential. This leads to:

CHAPTER 5 THE MAC AND UGAZ WORK
Copyright © 2024. Cambridge Scholars Publishing. All rights reserved.
The Mac and Ugaz model11 is the relativistic thermal model of a free particle gas, with same results of the Cleymans and Thews’s work.10 This model, however, takes into account the gluon distribution and considers the confining and also the perturbative QCD corrections, by using the Altarelli-Parisi formulas.12 The nucleon, in this model, is a relativistic gas where “free" quarks and gluons are inside a volume of a bag. This model is similar to the MIT bag model. The volume is related to the nucleon size. With a defined temperature , we may apply the Fermi-Dirac statistics for quarks, and Bose-Einstein for gluons. as the mean number of In the proton rest frame, we define quarks, with both polarizations and momentum , being the distribution of “free" confined quarks defined as
(5.1) where “ " is the energy, “ " the chemical potential. For the antiquarks, in a free we replace ‘ ” by “- ” in Eq. (5.1). The gluon distribution gas is given by
(5.2) where there is no chemical potential for gluons. The temperature in the model is defined in the nucleon rest frame. This temperature can only be defined in the rest frame. In the frame in which the proton moves on the axis, the distribution in Eq. (5.1) becomes

CHAPTER 6 THERMODYNAMIC MODEL FOR PROTON SPIN

(6.1) indicates the probability of finding a quark with a Here momentum fraction polarized in the same direction as the whole proton, is the quark’s electric charge. The notation and and is also common. One of the most relevant properties of unpolarized functions is that the momentum fraction carried by quarks accounts for only half of the total momentum. This is striking proof of the existence of gluons. Analogously, from the polarized structure function, we ask how much of the proton spin is carried by quarks, how much by gluons, and how much is present in angular momentum. The models for proton and neutron spin must consider the Bjorken sum rule44,45

CHAPTER 7 THE BICKERSTAFF AND LONDERGAN WORK
Similarly to Cleymans and Thews’s, or the Mac and Ugaz’s work, Bickerstaff and Londergan’s15 paper also used a confined Fermi gas at a finite temperature. The authors have shown how the different confining models affect the energy-momentum tensor. The models are the MIT,5 the Freidberg-Lee soliton model63,64,59 and the color-dielectric.50-52 The authors have also shown that the same equation of state (EoS) holds in the three cases. The energy-momentum tensor is defined as: (7.1)

7.1 MIT bag model In 1974, Chodos et al.5 presented the famous MIT bag model. The authors considered the confining and the asymptotic freedom, the cornerstones of QCD. These two features were introduced by employing an effective spherical and central potential, which is zero inside the bag, and infinity on the wall (the border). In simple words, the nucleons are balls within the quarks inside.

7.2 Soliton model, by Freidberg-Lee The static bag models, discussed in the preceding sections, are necessarily limited in scope because of their noncovariant, nonHamiltonian formulation. These models cannot be expected to yield an annihilation, and many adequate description of hadronic collisions, other dynamical phenomena for which QCD analyses are usually limited to the lowest order in gluon exchange. Thus, it is desirable to develop alternative bag formulations which can be described by a complete Hamiltonian and are manifestly covariant.53-55 Such formalism is the soliton bag model proposed by Friedberg and Lee.56,61 The heart of the Friedberg-Lee model is the nontopological soliton, or field.56-58,61 A soliton is a solitary wave that asymptotically preserves its

shape and velocity in nonlinear interactions, with other solitary waves or other localized disturbances. Topology studies geometrical properties that are not changed under deformations. In this case, nontopological means properties that do not change with the interactions. This is a phenomenological representation of the quantum excitations of the selfinteracting gluon field. It is a scalar field. The energy of a uniform system as a function of the field strength has two minima, one at zero and a second, deeper minimum, at a large finite value identified as the vacuum value. In the absence of quarks, the normal state of the field is at the vacuum value. In the presence of quarks, the field finds a minimum in the vicinity of zero; the quarks dig a hole in the vacuum. This is the origin of confinement in the model. Another way to understand the soliton is to visualize it as a gas bubble immersed in a liquid medium. The parameter p can then be interpreted as the gas pressure. The situation in which the bubble is filled uniformly with the quark gas is representative of the MIT bag. This visualization gives the thermodynamic properties of the quark gas in the bubble (i.e., the nucleon). This view is quite similar to the QCD dielectric model. The Lagrangian density, without the gluons terms, is given by63,64,59

For the inner of the bag to be a region with uniform density, like a gas, the Lagrangian has the form: (7.10) where is a constant. In this approach, the quarks obey the Dirac equation for free particles with effective mass: (7.11) and (7.12)

7.3 QCD Dielectric Model The basic idea of the QCD dielectric model is to compare the vacuum to a dielectric material. The nucleon is a hole inside this material. No QCD particles (quarks, gluons) can go outside the hole, in the same way, electric particles can’t move in a dielectric material. , and the Lagrangian The quark field is re-scaled by density becomes:

CHAPTER 8 THE DEVANATHAN–KARTHIYAYINI– GANESAMURTHY MODEL
In 1994,16 the three authors above presented a model named “Thermodynamical Bag Model for nucleon structure functions”, also based on the approximation of a Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein gas for quarks and gluons, respectively. It is relevant to show the differences between this model and the other. The authors observed that the models by Mac and Ugaz, Cleymans and Thews, and Bickerstaff–Londergan do not exhibit the correct asymptotic behavior as and . extends beyond into the unphysical region and vanishes as .

That is what the work revised in this chapter proposed by identifying with the mass of excited nucleon and using a parameter in normalization. After having considered the nucleon as an MIT bag, consisting of quarks and gluons and making the usual association with Fermi and bosons gases, the energy density is given as a function of the temperature and the chemical potentials and .

In 1996, Devanathan and McCarthy presented a work,18 following the work by Devanathan, Karthiyayini, Ganesamurthy16 to obtain the polarized structure functions.

The Bjorken variable was introduced to define a specific kinematic configuration of the reaction. They are considered the inelastic parameter with values ranging from 0 to 1. The upper limit, , is the elastic case, and the lower limit corresponds to the extreme inelastic event when the energy of the incident lepton is transferred to the target nucleon. Alternatively, in the IMF, the Bjorken variable corresponds to the fraction of the momentum carried by the quark. The main results obtained by Devanathan and McCarthy are shown in the Table (9.1).

The group composed of J. Soffer, C. Bourrely, and C. Bucella have presented a sequence of works with “parameterized statistical formulas”,1924 named “statistical approach of parton distributions”. In this model, the nucleon is a massless partons gas (quarks, antiquarks, gluons), balanced at some temperature, confined in a volume . The light quarks, with helicity , with the energy scale =4 GeV2, are given by the sum of two terms, similar to the Fermi-Dirac distributions (the authors named it “almost Fermi-Dirac distribution”), with parameters that fit the experimental data. For polarized functions, the formula is:

Observe that the second term in the above formula represents the quarks generated by the gluon splitting process. For an unpolarized function we have , and for the polarized .

12.1 Additional Effects Considered
Copyright © 2024. Cambridge Scholars Publishing. All rights reserved.
12.1.1 Effective light-quark mass shift The difference between the interactions of and quarks in the nucleon is supposed to come from instanton contributions, which are flavour-spin dependent.78 Each quark interacts with the other, of opposite spin and different flavors. In the present approach, we use the quark distributions from the model with linear confining potential. To consider the instanton contribution effectively, we note that quarks have a more attractive channel, with lower energy than that of the quark. In the thermal model, as the initial confining potential is the same, there is no difference between the quark energies. It follows that the ratios and are constant. Once given any quark distribution , a simple mathematical way to implement the above considerations is to introduce a displacement of the distributions over the scale, in such a way that (and corresponding antiparticles) distributions have their respective and maxima at different positions. Note that working with both, particle and antiparticle distributions, one can obtain, at once, all ratios between structure functions. The physical meaning behind the displacement is that the effective potential for and quarks should be different, and also for their antiparticles. state is more energetic than a state In the Fock space, a . The displacement in the scale can be done for any probability distribution. In the following, to verify the effect of such displacement, Trevisan and collaborators chose the simplest distribution, given by Dirac’s delta function (see, for example, chapter 9 of Ref. 80):

Such gluon splitting is a well-studied process.80 or pairs from any quark. So, There are equal chances to originate we can use a generic function that describe this process: (12.22) The number of particles-antiparticles pairs in such phenomenon is given by the Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi equation.12 They first considered a gluon creation from an original quark distribution that, after the splitting of gluons, creates equal quantities of each flavour of light quarks.80–82 The joint probability density to obtain a quark coming from the and at some fixed low is given subsequent decays by

Note that with only the considerations of the Dirac equations and will be constant. This occurs because we gluonic effects, the ratio have the same wave functions for all quarks and anti-quarks, being the difference only in the normalization. How to deal with the difference between the interactions of and quarks of the nucleon in an effective way has been shown in the previous subsection, considering a quark mass shift.

The structure function of the constituent quark/antiquark can , assuming that the be extracted from the pion structure function, asymptotic form dominates the pion light-front wave function.

With the dot-dashed line, only the gluon contribution. In both cases, the ratio is constant. The ratio is always equal to one for the gluon contribution. With a dashed line, it is possible to observe two contributions: the thermal model and the gluon effect ( 1.72). The solid line presents the rescaled result for the ratio without gluon contributions. In Fig. (12.3) and Fig. (12.4), we have two important results of the model related to the antiquark distribution in the nucleon. In Fig. (12.3), and, in Fig. (12.4), the antiquark we show the antiquark ratio . difference The initial result of the thermal model, with no shift of the distributions and without quark pair contributions, is shown in Fig. (12.3) by the straight (long-dashed) constant line.

This value enters the , calculation of gluon contributions for the quark ratio distribution shown in Fig. (12.5); and also in the neutron to proton ratio distribution, , shown in Fig. (12.6), where Q2=12 GeV2. With the solid line, the authors showed in Fig. (12.3) and Fig. (12.4), the results obtained by considering all the effects: the thermal model, mass shift, gluon splitting, and contributions of pionic formation. We note in Fig. (12.4) that both combined effects from gluon splitting and pion formation are relevant for the best fitting of the difference .

A VERY SIMPLE STATISTICAL MODEL TO QUARK’S ASYMMETRIES
Trevisan and Mirez267 have proposed a simple statistical model with the Fock states being the meson-hadron fluctuations. As expected, an insight into the Gottfried sum rule (GSR) violation emerged. The model also predicted the difference between the strangeness amount in proton and neutron. The violation of the Gottfried Sum Rule7 does not emerge considering only the QCD phenomenology. One popular explanation is the meson cloud around the nucleon – there are more mesons around the proton because the fluctuation is more probable in the Fock than space. 111,40 depends on , but there are The observed violation of the few phenomenological works to explain such behavior. Abbate showed a till =10 GeV2 and a small increase decrease of the difference at = 30 GeV2. Sohaily et al. related the scattering energy to the variables (Temperature, Volume, Chemical potential) of the statistical model by Zhang.29

that there must be a small difference in the amount of the strangeness between the proton and the neutron and that this difference is more evident if the energy rises. To explain these facts in a qualitative way, it was implemented a simple statistical model, with a Fermi-Dirac distribution for the Fock states. The physical explanation for the observed data, that comes from the model is that, with low scattering energy, that is, low temperature, the states that generate the and asymmetry are more frequent, while, if the energy increases, the states with strange particles (or states that do not asymmetry) gain statistical weight. contribute to the Also, due to the small difference of mass between the states with strange quarks in protons and neutrons, there is a small difference between the strange quark contributions. Therefore, the model may explain two different phenomena. As a final remark, it was noticed that the small difference in the strangeness may be multiplied in a nuclear medium, where the number of protons and neutrons may be different, and this may affect some physical properties in the system.

Sohayli et.al. 40 presented a model where the statistical approach given by Zhang29 is considered to obtain the parton distribution inside a valon.39 In the valon model, the proton is a bound state of three valence quark clusters, so the constituents bear all the momentum of the proton. At high values, the structure of the valon depends on leading order results in the perturbative QCD. From the experimental data on of protons and neutrons, the flavor-dependent valon distributions in the nucleon are determined. The distribution of valons in the proton is independent of , but the distribution of partons in the constituent quarks (the valons) is dependent. In the work by Sohaily et al., the distributions of valons inside the proton are given by

THERMODYNAMICS WITH FRACTAL STRUCTURE, TSALLIS STATISTICS AND HADRONS
Deppman published a work in Physical Review A that named this chapter. He introduced the thermofractal concept, an application of fractals in thermodynamics. The self-similarity of the thermofractals occurs in the statistical properties of the internal structure. Mandelbrot 228 created the term fractal to designate systems presenting scaling symmetry. The interesting fact is that, for such systems, their dimension, according to the definition by Haussdorf, is not necessarily an integer.181 The concept of a fractal applies to distribution functions, where self-affinity appears. In such cases, there are usually many dimensions associated to the scale symmetry,181,182 and the system is called multifractal. Deppman remembered that the main motivation for introducing a , which would lead to nonextensive statistics, nonadditive entropy, was its applicability to fractal or multifractal systems, since this entropy would naturally lead to power-law distributions, characteristic of fractals. and the Before that, other works183–186 studied the relation between fractals. The main interest of Deppman’s work was the thermodynamical aspects of high-energy collisions. Fermi187 was the first to observe such thermodynamical features. Hagedorn 188 subsequently developed it fifty years ago by supposing a self-similar structure for the hadrons. This was done by the following definition of fireballs: “Fireball is a * statistically balanced system composed by an undetermined number of fireballs, each one of them being, in its turn, a (go to *)”
This definition makes clear the self-similarity of the fireball structure, resulting in a scale invariance typical of fractals, as already mentioned in

“The fractal structures can be formed by systems described by the Yang-Mills field theory. The presence of fractal structures lead to a recurrence formula that allows the determination of the effective coupling even in high perturbative orders. A consequence of the fractal structure is that the proper thermodynamical theory for describing the interacting system is the non extensive Tsallis statistics, rather than the traditional Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics, where the entropic index, q, is a measure of the non additivity of the entropy. Here is obtained, for the first time, in terms of the field theory parameters. The fractal dimension is determined as a function of the entropic index. When applied to QCD in the asymptotic approximation, the theoretical valued obtained for is in good agreement with the values found in the analyses of experimental data. Some experimental features can be explained by the theoretical results derived by this proposal, in particular the behavior of particle multiplicity as a function of the collision energy, which depends on the fractal dimension. Although fractal structure could be perceived in any field theory of Yang-Mills type, in QCD its effects are more evident. In the Figure xxx, a diagrammatic view of the Yang-Mills fields is showed."
With the above definition and a self-consistent argument, Hagedorn obtained the complete thermodynamical description of fireballs. The predictions included the limiting temperature and the mass spectrum formula, which allowed comparison to experimental data. A such recursive aspect of the definition was also used by S. Frautschi190 who proposed that hadrons are made of hadrons. With this definition, he derived some of the results obtained previously by Hagedorn. An interesting historical aspect is that Hagedorn’s thermodynamical approach was proposed some years before the quark structure of hadrons became accepted, but it had far-reaching consequences. In 2000 it was shown that simply changing the exponential function in the self-consistent thermodynamics distribution by the q-exponential relation from Tsallis statistics would result in a power-law distribution for which can describe the data in the whole range145,193. In 2012 the self-consistent principle proposed by Hagedorn was generalized by the inclusion of , leading to a well-defined thermodynamical theory when Tsallis statistics replaced Boltzmann statistics.194 The experimental evidence of the applicability comes from the data from HEP. Some authors analyzed it uses the thermodynamical formula derived from Tsallis statistics146,153,195,196,148 or using the power-law formula inspired on QCD.197,198,151,156,199

Chapter 16
Deppman introduced the thermofractals as follows: “Define thermofractal as a class of thermodynamical systems presenting a fractal structure in its thermodynamical description in the following sense”: 1. The total energy is given by (16.1) where corresponds to the kinetic energy of constituent subsystems and corresponds to the internal energy of those subsystems, which behaves as particles with an internal structure. is 2. The constituent particles are thermofractals. The ratio can vary constant for all the subsystems. However, the ratio , which is self-similar (selfaccording to a distribution, affine), that is, at different levels of the subsystem hierarchy, the distribution of the internal energy is equal (proportional) to those in the other levels. 3. At some level in the hierarchy of subsystems the phase space is so narrow that one can consider (16.2) with being independent of the energy .

For the description of the thermodynamical properties of such a system, the starting point is the Boltzmann factor (16.3) with being the entropy and the Boltzmann constant. Supposing the variations of the volume can be disregarded one has (16.4) so the probability in Eq. (16.3) can be written in terms of the total energy as (16.5) where is a generalized differential.

Tsallis statistics approach Boltzmann It is known that as statistics, so it is interesting to analyse the thermofractal in that limit. Due also , and from Eq. (16.25) one notice that to Eq. (16.24), as there are two ways to get this limit: one by letting and the other keeping constant. If the Boltzmann limit is not obtained. In fact in this case one has , as in the case of the self-affine solution, but with independent of the hierarchical level. This is possible only for corresponding to the trivial case of a thermofractal with energy . This also indicates that the self-similar solution is not a special case of the self-affine solution, but represents a different system. The Boltzmann limit is obtained if is constant, what means that remains constant as , therefore . Hence the Boltzmann limit is obtained if almost all energy of the gas appears in the form of kinetical energy of its constituents. In this case the system is insensitive to the subsystem internal energy, thus behaving as an ideal gas that can be described by Boltzmann entropy.

Hadron Fractal Dimension To calculate the fractal properties of hadrons one needs two parameters and that characterize the hadronic thermodynamics, namely, the ratio the entropic index . These values have been thoroughly investigated in analyses of distributions from high energy collisions, 195, 146, 153, 196, 153 148 in an analysis of the hadronic mass spectrum, and the comparison of the thermodynamical calculations with LQCD data.202 The values found and .202,158 are Proceeding to calculate the thermofractal properties one has, using Eq. , and using it results .

The value calculated here is in fair agreement with the results of analyses of experimental data in hadronhadron collisions,212–216 which range between and . At this point, we put a few words to explain what is intermittency. Let’s imagine some measure of rapidity distribution in scattering is taken, for the rapidity interval. If another with the experimental resolution , the resulting distribution will not measure is taken, with the interval reproduce the expected statistic pattern of the first and will be different because some phenomena (such as quark-gluon plasma and gluon splitting) occur and affect the distribution. This means that a better resolution shows the time evolution of the phenomena. The agreement described above needs to be discussed in more detail. The analysis of intermittency is made through a sophisticated methodology that was developed some decades ago to extract fractal parameters from experimental data 204–207 and has been applied since then to study mainly data from heavy ion collisions in emulsion.218–220;217 But aside from the technical difficulties, there is the unavoidable problem

described in Refs. 221;222 where it is shown that when multiple fractal sources are present the measured intermittency is weaker than the real fractal dimension would imply. Experimental data where it was supposed fewer sources tend to present stronger intermittency effects when measured with the available technique. This may explain the fact that the intermittency in nucleus-nucleus collisions, which is 0.97, is much weaker than that from hadron-hadron or collisions, which is 0.4.212 The fair agreement found between the calculation and the experimental values indicates that the thermofractal proposed here can indeed give a reliable description of the fractal aspects of multiparticle production. In addition, it can show that the intermittency found in HEP data is related to the fractal structure of the hadron. It is the hadron structure that leads to the nonextensive self-consistent thermodynamics194 as the proper thermodynamical description of the hadronic systems. The study of intermittency has been used to show multifractal aspects in the cascade dynamics behind multiparticle production. The dynamical cascade is connected to complex QCD diagrams which would describe the entire particle production process.224;223;225 Here we show the connection between intermittency and Tsallis statistics. However, a direct connection to the scattering dynamics ruled by QCD is possible, as shown below. S-matrix and entropic index

The work introduces a system that has a fractal structure in its thermodynamical functions, which is called thermofractal. It is shown that its thermodynamics is more naturally described by Tsallis statistics. A relation between the fractal dimension and the entropic index, , is found. The ratio between the Tsallis temperature, and the Boltzmann temperature, , is related to the entropic index and to the number of subsystems, , in the next level of the fractal structure.

Assuming that hadrons present a thermofractal structure, the relevant values for the calculation are obtained from the analyses of distribution and from the observed hadronic mass spectrum, was already found in a work comparing the while the ratio thermodynamic results to the LQCD data. The comparison between the calculated fractal dimension and the value obtained from the analysis of intermittency in HEP experimental data shows a fair agreement. For a system of interacting particles presenting thermofractal structure it is found a relation between the entropic index and the -matrix for the particle interaction. This result allows, on one hand, to connect the entropic index to fundamental aspects of the interaction between the constituents, and, on the other hand, it establishes constraints on the -matrix to allow the emergence of non extensivity in the corresponding system.

CHAPTER 17 FRACTAL STRUCTURE AND NON-EXTENSIVE STATISTICS
Copyright © 2024. Cambridge Scholars Publishing. All rights reserved.
A. Deppman and collaborators investigated the properties of the fractal thermodynamical system and proposed a diagrammatic method for calculating the relevant quantities related to such a system (see “Fractal structure and nonextensive statistics”).252 They showed that a system with the fractal structure described there presents temperature fluctuation following an Euler Gamma Function, by previous works that evidenced the connections between those fluctuations and Tsallis statistics. Finally, the scale invariance of the fractal thermodynamical system is discussed in terms of the Callan-Symanzik equation. In the review of this work, we repeated some parts of the preceding chapter (mainly formulae) to make the understanding easier.
17.1 Motivation Deppman et al.252 cited four connections between Boltzmann and Tsallis statistics that are: 1. The cosmic rays; C. Beck145 considered a generalized statistical mechanics model for the creation process of cosmic rays that takes into account local temperature fluctuations. 2. The nonlinear Fock-Planck equation for diffusion, studied by L. Borland.251 3. Grzegorz Wilk and Zbigniew Wodarczyk investigated the multiplicity fluctuations observed in high-energy nuclear collisions attributing them to intrinsic fluctuations of the temperature of the hadronizing system formed in such processes. To account for these fluctuations, they replaced the usual Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistics with the nonextensive Tsallis statistics characterized by the nonextensivity parameter q, with being a direct measure of fluctuation.

4. The thermofractal concept, introduced by Deppman.
Copyright © 2024. Cambridge Scholars Publishing. All rights reserved.
On the work described in this chapter, the authors have detailed the analysis of the fourth of those connections, where a system featuring fractal structure in its thermodynamic properties, named thermofractals,142 has been shown to follow Tsallis statistics. These fractals are relatively simple systems: they are objects with an internal structure that is like an ideal gas of a specific number of subsystems, which are also fractals of the same kind. The self-similarity between fractals at different levels of the internal structure follows from its definition and reveals the typical scale invariance. Thermodynamical systems with the thermofractal structure show fractional dimensions,142 another feature shared with fractals in general. The fractal dimension can be related to the fact that the system energy is proportional to the power of the number of particles, this power being different from the unit. It is interesting to note that the concepts discussed in the preceding chapter and this chapter (the relation among fractals, self-similarity, and non-extensive statistics) may be generalized and have applications in another field (a possible relation is in the stock market). The main results in the work revised in this chapter are: (a) The temperature of the fractal system addressed here fluctuates according to the Euler Gamma Function, a kind of temperature fluctuation already associated to Tsallis statistics; (b) the scale invariance of thermofractals in terms of the CallanSymanzik equation, a result that may be of importance for applications in hadron physics.
17.2 Fractals and Tsallis Statistics From a mathematical point of view, the basic difference between , which is an Boltzmann and Tsallis statistics is the probability factor, exponential function of energy in the case of Boltzmann statistics, and in the nonextensive statistics proposed by Tsallis is a function called qexponential, given by

shows an internal structure with self-similarity, i.e., the internal components are identical to the main system after rescaling. The importance of this result is two-fold: in one way, it allows us to understand the emergence of nonextensivity; in the other, the applicability of Tsallis entropy becomes evident, with the entropic index, , being given by quantities well defined in the Boltzmann statistics; on the other hand, the structure obtained resembles in many ways strongly interacting systems, where Tsallis statistics describes well the experimental distributions.153;167–169 The particular fractal structure that leads to Tsallis statistics has a density of states given by (17.7) where and are independent quantities and part of the total energy, , is such that

(17.13) This result shows that some properties of the main system are also found in its compound systems. This is the self-similarity property, that defines a system with a fractal structure. The system described by the density of states given by Eq. (17.7) is a fractal.142 Moreover, the distribution given by Eq. (17.12) is the well-known Tsallis distribution, hence we can conclude that using Tsallis statistics whole complexity of the fractal system is taken into account in a more simple way, since from the nonextensive entropy associated with that statistics all thermodynamic properties emerge from the usual thermodynamic relations.170;106
17.3 Fractal Structure The results obtained in the last section show that the system with the density of states given by Eq.

(17.14) The most evident aspect of a fractal structure is its scale invariance. For the system studied here, it means not only that the self-consistency relation represented by Eq.

If, at this stage, one still disregards the thermofractal subsystem structure, the kinetic energy F can only be interpreted as a parameter, while the system energy is the only quantity that keeps some physical meaning, besides the temperature that now fluctuates inside the system. When this step is performed, the equation above is interpreted as a Gamma , that is, distribution of the inverse temperature
(17.67) The distribution of temperatures, as described by Eq. (17.67), was already considered in connection to the Tsallis distribution in a different context.139,140 On the other hand, the possibility of an equilibrated system with temperature fluctuation is rather controversial.172–175 In the present work such fluctuations are well defined in association with the fractal structure of the thermodynamics functions of the system analyzed. Temperature fluctuations arising from a multi scale system were already analyzed in Ref. 167.

17.6 Callan–Symanzik equation for thermofractals Deppman and collaborators showed some connections between thermofractals description to quantum field theory. They showed that the Callan-Symanzik equation may be applied to thermofractals. The simplest diagrammatic representation of the thermofractal evolution from one level to the next level corresponds to a vertex with an initial system , (as described by diagram characterized by energy and momentum subsystems with in Fig. 1b), at an arbitrary level generating and . Such diagram leads to such that
(17.68) Here, the passage from one level to the next subsystem represents only an alternative description of the same system. However, one can consider that the initial thermofractal can break into pieces, each one being a thermofractal. Let be a coupling constant that gives weight to a transition from one subsystem level to another one, then one can write

Vertex functions that are invariant under scale transformation can be described by the CallanSymanzik equation, which played a fundamental role in the determination of the asymptotic freedom in Yang-Mills theory. A thermofractal version of the such equation was already derived in Ref. 179, and it will be derived here in a different way. works, as seen above, as a The thermofractal temperature scale parameter that determines the fractal structure of the subsystem at a certain level, so one can write the factor in terms of the subsystem temperature by using Eq.

These results, therefore, set the grounds for a more fundamental description of thermofractals in terms of gauge field theory.

17.9.1 N-Point Functions The most conceptually challenging thing to start with is the notion of an “N-point” Green’s function. These N-point functions are essentially how strongly N-particles interact with each other. So you can have a 3point function between an electron-positron and a photon which describes how strongly a photon interacts with an electron. The most common N-point functions to consider are the 2-point, 3point and 4-point functions. The 2-point function describes one particle coming in and one particle coming out. This turns out to be where things like the mass, the index of refraction, and decays can be read off. 3-point and 4-point functions describe basic interactions of particles with each other. Higher point functions are typically constructed from lower point functions since these higher point interactions tend to be constructed out of lower point functions.
17.9.2 Quantum N-Point Functions These N-point functions are interesting on their own for classical physics, but new and bizarre features start to happen when these N-point functions are computed in quantum mechanics (usually Quantum Field Theory). Quantum Mechanical N-point functions become dependent on how you measure it. So at shorter distances, particles may interact more strongly or weakly with each other. The Callan-Symanzik equation is the equation that describes how these N-point functions change depending on how you probe them.

17.9.3 Callan-Symanzik Equation’s Significance
Copyright © 2024. Cambridge Scholars Publishing. All rights reserved.
In terms of significance, “the Callan-Symanzik equation is the background for the Renormalization Group Equation which is arguably one of the most important concepts from modern physics. It shows that the constants of nature are not constant and, instead, should be thought of as dynamical entities. The renormalization group equation is why the strong force becomes strong and how all the disparate (non-gravitational) forces of nature may unify into a single entity – a Grand Unified Theory”.

Trevisan and Mirez35 presented a contribution considering the adapted Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distribution to nonextensive thermodynamics, proposed by Tsallis.113,112 The theoretical motivations of these works were to suggest the nonextensive statistical mechanics as an appropriate basis to deal with physical systems with strong correlation dynamics, long-range interactions, and memory effects. They used the steps of Bhalerao,25 without considering the finite size corrections yet.

CHAPTER 19 THE POLARIZED NONEXTENSIVE STATISTICAL MODEL
In the previous chapter, a work by Trevisan and Mirez was revised. To justify such procedure, we remind that the nonextensive features occur when there are strong correlations or interactions among the parts. As a natural sequence, they considered the case of polarized structure-function. In section II of that paper, the model was applied considering the available experimental data. Section III showed the main results, and section IV the conclusion.

19.1 The Model In the work of Trevisan, the steps of the formalism considered in Refs.25;26 were followed, but instead of the usual Fermi-Dirac or BoseEinstein distributions, the adapted version applied for the nonextensive thermodynamics was used, as done in Ref. 35. The parameters of the model are the radius ( ), the temperature ( ) and the factor -from Tsallis, besides the chemical potentials for each kind of particle. These parameters must be constrained by the experimental data. If denotes the number of quarks (antiquarks) of flavor and spin parallel (anti-parallel) to the nucleon spin, then the Parton Distribution Functions (PDF) in the proton has to satisfy the following seven constraints: (19.1) (19.2) (19.3) (19.4)

19.2 Results In the model discussed in this section, we have to combine the values of , and and find the chemical potentials in a set constrained by the normalization equations Eq. (19.1) to Eq. (19.6), with sum of moments Eq. (19.7). The obtained results for the asymmetries of the quarks and the sum of the momenta of the quarks depend on the values of the variables , and . The asymmetries of the antiquarks is a consequence of using different chemical potentials for up and down quarks. The interesting range for the temperature is within the interval MeV, with within the interval . Within these ranges, reasonable values for the nucleon radius and for the asymmetry in the nucleon sea are obtained in the numerical simulations. Therefore, there is a great number of possible ways to combine the variables and , which should be followed the corresponding interpretations, in view of the physical features. In order to adjust the model, the experimental results by violation were used: Towell et al.229 for the Gottfried sum rule7

(19.15) This implies that the numerical results near Eq. (19.14) must be investigated in more detail. On the next tables, some combinations are shown. One important feature of the present work is that there are no isospin symmetries, that is, proton and neutron may have a small difference in properties, such as strangeness content and other quark-antiquarks quantities. Therefore, within our assumptions, (19.16) (19.17) and (19.18)

In fact, without any kind of symmetries, the violation leads to: (19.19) The features for proton and neutron are analyzed at the same temperature because the experimental process to take neutron measures usually have to involve protons together. The physical meaning of this choice is the assumption that there is a thermal equilibrium between them (in the case of taking the measure using deuterium). Under such condition, we present the results obtained for the variable and for the radius. and the difference , we have Moreover, to obtain the ratio to combine the structure functions obtained at the same temperature. On Table (19.1) and Table (19.2), we have selected 2 cases with MeV for the proton, and 1 for the neutron. By considering MeV, we selected 2 cases for the proton and 3 for the neutron.

19.3 Conclusion In the revised work here, the results of a model which considers the Tsallis distribution for the fermions, to describe the polarized structure function of the nucleons, were presented. In the adjustment of the model with available experimental data, no kind of symmetry in the quark sea is supposed a priori. The hypothesis of equal temperature for the proton and neutron is justified, with comparisons among structure functions (polarized and unpolarized) made under such a rule. After fixing the temperature, the authors tried different combinations for the parameters (from Tsallis) and (radius) in the proton and the neutron and verified the sum rules. This feature of the model allows intuitive insights into the hadron phenomenology. The best results were obtained in the case where the parameters were MeV, and fm. By comparing this work with Ref. 35 it is possible to verify a small improvement in the radius, now closer to the usually accepted radius for the nucleons (in that work, MeV, fm and ). Another important point is the little difference obtained for the amount of strangeness in proton and neutron. This difference may have cumulative and relevant effects in the nuclear media248 and deserves further investigation. Therefore, this work confirms the plausibility of nonextensity in the statistical properties of nucleons and stresses the attention to the lack of symmetry in the number of sea particles in protons and neutrons. The recent improvements in experimental data can easily be incorporated into a numerical approach.

CHAPTER 20 ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RADII OF GLUONS AND QUARKS
Copyright © 2024. Cambridge Scholars Publishing. All rights reserved.
20.1 Introduction Trevisan, Mirez and da Silva published a work in a special issue of MPDI physics (see https://doi.org/10.3390/physics3040073), devoted to Statistical Approaches in High Energy Physics (see https://www.mdpi.com /journal/physics/special_issues/sahep).

Some authors suppose that gluons carry out almost half of the momentum in the nucleons31,231, while others say this must be about 30%.232 The theoretical predictions also have variations, between near 50% and 20%.234,235 On this subject, many models were proposed to describe the structure function of the nucleon, among them, the statistical models.” In Refs. 27 and 28, the variables fit better by a system of equations with the usual sum rules for valence quarks, and the violation of the Gottfried sum rule (GSR) for instance,85 is an additional result. The GSR violation may be used as information to fit the temperature. Another sum rule is the sum of momenta of all particles, quarks, and gluons, which must be equivalent to 1. In Refs. 27 and 28 Trevisan and Mirez considered the effects of nonextensivity by Tsallis113,106 to study the nucleon structure function. These works have three main variables: the temperature , the of Tsallis, and the radius . The model proposed in Refs. 27 and 28 was an adaptation of the model by Bhalerao25,26 to the non-extensivity. The -exponential replaces the usual exponential in the distributions. The non-extensivity describes some situations in which the sum of the entropies of two independent subsystems A and B that have individual and , respectively, implying an additional probability densities,

(20.1) ( , etc.) will be discussed in The exact form of the function Section 20.2. The use of Tsallis statistics is justified by considering the valon model38,30. The valon is considered to consist of the valence quark, sea quarks, and gluons around. This subsystem, with some entropy, interacts with another valon. Therefore, the sum of the entropies reflects this fact. Each cloud of quarks and gluons around the valence quarks overlaps the neighbors so that the particles are indistinguishable (in sense that one cannot tell to which valence quark the particles belong to). In addition, the radius of each valence quark with its sea is considered the radius of the nucleon. Recently, Deppman253 gave a theoretical justification to use the Tsallis distribution to study QCD, and Cardoso et al.254 studied the thermodynamical variables in the MIT bag model considering the non-extensivity. Here, a new study, in which the momenta of gluons and quarks are computed separately, obeying, of course, the sum rule. Therefore, new independent variables occur, the radii of quarks. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 20.2, the model of 27,28 is discussed and modified to consider the sum of momenta of quarks and gluons separately. Section 20.3 gives results and discusses those. Section 20.3 provides studies with fixed temperature (and variable and radius), variable temperature (fixed and radius), and variable radius ( and temperature are fixed). The conclusions and final remarks are given in Section 20.4.
20.2 Theory and Methods In the present picture, the nucleon is considered a spherical bag with a radius . Inside the bag, there is a gas of massless partons (quarks, antiquarks, gluons) in equilibrium at temperature . In the nucleon center of mass frame, each parton can charge a maximum of half of the total momentum. The other half is shared by the

other partons. Thus, the mass (energy) that a parton can bring is at most half the mass of the nucleon. Therefore, MeV is used in what follows. The main point of this study is to use a different radius for quarks and gluons. Besides this, consider that partons are point particles that form the gas inside the spherical bag with the radius of the nucleon. Following Bhalerao,25 we consider the infinite momentum frame (IMF) to obtain the particle distribution functions (PDFs) for quarks and gluons. Below, two frames are considered, namely, the proton rest frame and IMF, both moving with velocity ( 1) along the common axis. The interest of this study lies in the limit, when the Lorentz factor, .

For these variations, many solutions may exist. Fig. (20.1) shows the dependence of the radius on the nonextensivity factor . The radius is seen to decrease with almost linearly, and is smaller than 1. This result means that with more gluon interactions, the system called valon (a valence quark with the corresponding quark-antiquark and gluon cloud)38 interacts more with another valon, changing its internal entropy.

20.4 Conclusions In the present paper studies concerning the variables of the nonextensive statistical model for the nucleon structure function were given. The variations of the nucleon temperature, the radius, and the parameter of Tsallis statistics were studied. The main objective is to verify that the volume occupied by quarks and gluons may be different. To this end, the momentum carried by quarks are investigated within the existing models. It was found that not only the radius can be modified but also the temperature, . The temperature was lower than that obtained in the previous model27,28 (about 40–60 MeV) to satisfy the sum of the quarks’ momenta. to be close to the experimental data. In these studies, the quarks’ momentum is about 80%. Higher temperatures mean higher energies and more quark-antiquark creation. This increases the total momentum of the quarks. It is possible to notice that the same dependence occurs with the 256 . The linear relationship between and and scattering energy and the quarks’ total momentum are obtained. The radius is obtained to be larger (in comparison with previous results27,28) to fit the violation of Gottfried’s sum rule. The large volume needed to obtain this effect is due to the meson cloud around the valence quarks. Another point to explain is the radius obtained in the present model. Thermodynamical models usually have a radius larger than 1 fm, and some corrections are used. For instance, Bhalerao’s study has the finite-size correction, and Mac–Ugaz’s264 paper uses the perturbative correction. The thermodynamic/statistical model with effective confining potential265,266 also may correct this problem. The initial hypothesis that the gluons gas must occupy a bigger volume than the quarks gas is confirmed.

The q parameter is below 1 in the present model. This result is different from that obtained in Ref.3 or 4. Those works take measures in the context of quark-gluon plasma, while here, the goal is to obtain the results of the deep inelastic scattering to obtain the structure function. Moreover, the present study is an improvement of an extensive model, which makes the result near 1. It is worth mentioning that there is another 141 approach that obtained in the context of a heath bath. To consider the gluon polarization is an interesting point to be studied soon. In this case, the set of Eqs. (20.5)–(20.11) needs to get one more equation to take this into account.

NUCLEAR EMC EFFECT IN NON-EXTENSIVE STATISTICAL MODEL
Trevisan and Mirez describe the nuclear EMC effect using the proton structure functions obtained from the non-extensive statistical quark model. We remind that such a model has three fundamental variables, the temperature , the radius, and the Tsallis parameter . The combination of different small changes allows good agreement with the experimental data. Another interesting point of the model is that it allows phenomenological interpretation, for instance, with constant and changing the radius and the temperature or changing the radius and and keeping the temperature. In 1982, the European Muon Collaboration at CERN discovered that nucleons inside a nucleus have a remarkably different momentum configuration as expected, i.e., the structure-function for a bound nucleon differs from that for an isolated one significantly,79 which was named the nuclear EMC effect. In order to account for the EMC effect, there have been many efforts and insights implemented in various models, e.g., the cluster model,94 the pion excess model,95 the x-rescaling model,96 the Q2-rescaling model,97 the nucleon swelling model,98 and the deconfinement model.99 The statistical idea applied to polarized and unpolarized structurefunction also applies to the nuclear EMC effect. See, for instance, the work by Zhang et al.100 and references therein. Angelini and Pazzi101 introduced thermodynamical analysis to the EMC effect, and utilizing the ratio of valence quark distributions at different temperatures and confinement volumes, fit the data well. Afterward, Li and Peng102 discussed the EMC effect using the Fermi-Dirac distribution for fermions and the Bose-Einstein distribution for gluons. Further, Roïzynek and Wilk103 combined nuclear Fermi motion with statistical effect104 to account for the rise at large . Therefore, to study the EMC effect considering the non-extensive statistics seems to be a natural improvement, with an interesting physical appeal.

22.2 Final Remarks, Conclusions and some open questions In this book, the statistical/thermodynamic models for estimating nucleon structure functions, both polarized and unpolarized, were reviewed. The reader can see that these models are based on fermion and boson distributions. The confinement is given by the MIT bag model. A common feature of the model is the temperature, usually around MeV (few models obtained different results). The proton radius obtained in such a model was about twice the expected value in most cases (an exception to the work of Bhalerao,25 with the Finite Size Correction). This failure may be a consequence of the approximation of continuous energy levels, even for valence quarks, which should receive a different treatment. The chemical potential has to be different for quarks and , to obtain normalizations, and this difference leads to antiquark asymmetries. In the polarized case, an additional chemical potential term is introduced and the Bjorken sum rule is considered. Moreover, the temperature is not easy to estimate by experimental methods, contrary to the radius. The Thermodynamical bag model for nucleon structure functions16 shows an interesting proposal that the scattering heats the nucleon, so the observed temperature is not fixed. Therefore, there is a scale dependence. The scale dependence was also proposed in the works by Angelini and Pazzi. In this case, it is interesting to construct new models with a relation and . On the Table (22.1), the main results of the unpolarized between models are disposed altogether, in a way that it is possible to compare the parameters and results of each one. On the works by Angeliniand Pazzi, Cleymans and Thews, and Mac and Ugaz, there is no violation of the . In the work by Devanathan et al., there Gottfried sum rule, so and, therefore, on . is a dependence of the temperature on In conclusion, such kind of models help us to understand important features of nucleons’ structure with the simple and reasonable basic principle, but there are some new open questions to be solved and some improvements that must be done in these models: 1. The endpoint problem. Considering the relation for the Bjorken , in the model with discrete energy scale, levels, the structure-function does not tend to zero as . Therefore, the present formalism is not appropriate to use with the model with discrete energy levels. 2. Recent experimental results showed the resonance phenomena and the quark hadron duality at intermediate values of energy scattering

. The statistical model based on the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein, with continuous energy levels, does not predict such behavior. 3. There is a growing interest in the applications of no-extensive thermodynamics to nuclear physics. The concept of thermofractal introduced by Deppman needs further development to describe the structure-function. 4. The transversal momentum distribution (TMD) has received attention in the last few years. Therefore, it is interesting to study the possible relation between the statistical features and the TMD.
