Abstract

In the current research project, grant number 2021/04438-7, it is proposed to verify the relationship between the entropy of the initial state partons computed with the von Neumann approach and the entropy of hadrons in the final state through the multiplicity distribution obtained from Proton-Proton and Proton-Lead collisions.Extending the scope of this phenomenological study, the goal of this proposal is to include in the student project the experimental analysis of the ALICE data on p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV in order to obtain the final multiplicity distributions of charged hadrons in these collisions.
