Fractal properties applied to hadron spectroscopy
  A contribution is presented to the study of hadron spectroscopy through the use of fractals and discrete scale invariance implying log-periodic corrections to continuous scaling. The masses of mesons and baryons, reported by the Particle Data Group (PDG), are properly fitted with help of the equation derived from the discrete-scale invariance (DSI) model. The same property is observed for the mass ratios between different particle species. This is also the case for total widths of several hadronic species.   Each fitted parameter, as a function of the hadronic masses, displays the same distribution for all hadronic species. Several masses of still unobserved mesons and baryons are tentatively predicted.
