Entropy of the interacting quarks and gluons in high-energy proton collisions is virtually identical to the entropy of produced hadrons.

Caption

When two high-energy protons from the counter-circulating beams of the LHC collide, the entropy of the interacting quarks and gluons is virtually identical to the entropy of the hadrons that subsequently stream away from the collision point.
