Sencer Taneri Private Researcher, Turkey Abstract Bosons and Fermions are observable in nature while Quarks appear only in triplets for matter particles. We find a theoretical proof for this statement in this paper by investigating 2-dim model. The occupation numbers q are calculated by a power law dependence of occupation probability and utilizing Hausdorff dimension for the infinitely small mesh in the phase space. The occupation number for Quarks are manipulated and found to be equal to approximately three as they are Parafermions.

Introduction generally called parastatistics. The Parastatistics proposed in 1952 by H. Green was deduced using a quantum field The essential difference in classical and quantum theory (QFT) [2, 3]. Whenever we discover a new particle, descriptions of N identical particles is in their individuality, it is almost certain that we attribute its behavior to the rather than in their indistinguishability [1]. Spin of the property that it obeys some form of parastatistics and the particle is one of its intrinsic physical quantity that is unique maximum occupation number q of a given quantum state to its individuality. The basis for how the quantum states for would be a finite number that could assume any integer N identical particles will be occupied may be taken as value as 1<q <∞ (see Table 1). But, the evident experimental, as hypothetical, or as quantum field theoretical, fundamental result is that all particles are either Fermions or but most probably suggesting a combination of the three is Bosons. It is not so clear why we call all particles as either best. Fermions or Bosons, and this situation may be discovered in this article by consideration of the quantum mechanical Table 1.

Then, one can find probability P that the smaller meshes at the origin are the maximum number that can occur in completely occupied for isotropic space, symmetric or antisymmetric states. It is known that when no SS more than q particles can exist in any completely Px(,′′ y )=zz = = Px()(′′ Py ) (1) antisymmetric (symmetric) state, the particles are called 22πMN πα Parafermions (Parabosons) of order q.
