Popis: | Experimental evidence and theoretical arguments for the existence of self-organized criticality in systems of gluons and quarks are presented. It is observed that the existing data for high-transverse-momentum jet-production exhibit striking regularities; and it is shown that, together with first-principle considerations, such regularities can be used, not only to probe the possible compositness of quarks, but also to obtain {\em direct evidence} for, or against, the existence of critical temperature and/or critical chemical potential in quark-gluon systems when hadrons are squeezed together. Comment: 13 pages, including 1 figure and 1 table |
