Abstract
Fractal self-similarity of hadron interactions demonstrated by the [Formula: see text]-scaling of inclusive spectra is studied. The scaling regularity reflects fractal structure of the colliding hadrons (or nuclei) and takes into account general features of fragmentation processes expressed by fractal dimensions. The self-similarity variable [Formula: see text] is a function of the momentum fractions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of the colliding objects carried by the interacting hadron constituents and depends on the momentum fractions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of the scattered and recoil constituents carried by the inclusive particle and its recoil counterpart, respectively. Based on entropy principle, new properties of the [Formula: see text]-scaling concept are found. They are conservation of fractal cumulativity in hadron interactions and quantization of fractal dimensions characterizing hadron structure and fragmentation processes at a constituent level.
