Self-similarity & scaling in nuclear collisions
Recently, a large variety of experimental results indicated that multiparticle production in high energy collisions possesses a self-similarity property when the resolution in phase space is increased. In analogy with the well known phenomena in geometrical and statistical systems exhibiting self-similarity, it was suggested that the ideas and methods of deterministic chaos in nonlinear physics can be used to analyze the data of multiplicity production at high energy collisions.

Collections of small entities (particles or whatever) behave haphazardly, even though physical laws govern the particles individually
Deterministic chaos chaos results from deterministic process
Fractals deal with geometric patterns (represented chaos) and quantitative way of characterizing these patterns. Chaos, in contrast, deals with time evolution and its underlying or distinguishing characteristics

Fractal dimension
The fractal dimension of sets observed in the dynamics can be used as
quantitative measure of the chaoticity

Summary Fractal dimension is sensitive to
the global event structure
Fractal dimension analysis is useful to understand features in events
More specific methods which could be implemented to small number of the particles are needed
