Abstract
For systems that involve particle production through branching process es, the concept of chaos is explored. The measures that can describe t heir behaviors are investigated. Monte Carlo simulation is used to gen erate events according to perturbative QCD and an Abelian model. It is shown how the measures proposed distinguish the two cases in ways tha t characterize the chaotic behavior.
