Using the Helmholtz free energy, the entropy is calculated near the minimum of the total cross-section through the confinement potential. A fitting procedure for the proton-proton total cross- section is carried out, defining the fit parameters. Therefore, the only remaining free parameter in the model is the mass-scale <em>ะบ</em> used to define the running coupling constant of the light-front the approach to QCD. The mass scale controls the distance <em>r</em> between the quark-antiquark pair and, under some conditions, allows the appearance of free quarks even within the confinement regime of QCD.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Ukrainian Journal of Physics}, author={Campos, S.D.}, year={2022}, month={May}, pages={151} }
