Information theory in high energy physics (extensive and nonextensive approach)

Abstract

The application of information theory approach (both in its extensive and nonextensive versions) to high energy multiparticle processes is discussed and confronted with experimental data on e+e- annihilation processes, pp and \bar{p}p scatterings and heavy ion collisions.
