We introduce a new framework using Tsallis statistics to model the pressure within hadrons. This approach offers an alternative to the traditional MIT bag model, simplifying calculations and aligning with Lattice QCD results.
Area of Science:
- Nuclear Physics
- Quantum Chromodynamics
- Statistical Mechanics
Background:
- The MIT bag model is a fundamental tool for understanding nucleon structure.
- Estimating internal hadron pressure is crucial for nuclear physics.
- Non-extensive statistics offer new ways to model complex systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a phenomenological framework for estimating internal hadron pressure.
- To implement non-extensive Tsallis statistics within the MIT bag model.
- To provide an alternative interpretation of bag pressure.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the MIT bag model as a basis.
- Implemented non-extensive Tsallis statistics for a two-component system.
- Described strong interaction correlations using the q-Tsallis parameter.
Main Results:
- The model successfully estimates hadron pressure.
- Results show agreement with Lattice QCD calculations.
- Pressure comparisons were made with deep virtual Compton scattering and gravitational form factor data.
Conclusions:
- The extended bag model offers an alternative interpretation of bag pressure via the q-Tsallis parameter.
- The MIT bag model can be formulated without the explicit bag pressure parameter.
- This framework provides a novel approach to hadron structure studies.
