On the precise determination of the Tsallis parameters in proton–proton collisions at LHC energies

Abstract: A detailed analysis is presented of the precise values of the Tsallis parameters obtained in p − p collisions for identified particles, pions, kaons and protons at the LHC at three beam energies √ s = 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV. Interpolated data at √ s = 5.02 TeV have also been included. It is shown that the Tsallis formula provides reasonably good fits to the p T distributions in p − p collisions at the LHC using three parameters dN/dy, T and q. However, the parameters T and q depend on the particle species and are… Show more

“…Power-law functions are used to describe the experimental data for the transverse momentum distribution of particles produced in proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions at the LHC and RHIC energies [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. Now the phenomenological transverse momentum distribution [9,10,11] inspired by the Tsallis statistics [12] has gained much attention and it is successfully used for the description of the experimental data on high-energy proton-proton reactions [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26] and relativistic heavy-ion collisions [27,28,29,30,31,32]. However, it has some dificulties in relation to the fundamental principles of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.…”

“…The transverse momentum (p T ) distribution of identified hadrons stemming from high-energy proton-proton, proton-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus collisions is one of the most fundamental observables in high-energy physics. In recent years, the Tsallis-Pareto-like distributions, motivated from non-extensive statistical physics, have received close attention because their applicability in this field [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. With the appearance of high precision experimental data spanning from low-to high-p T , neither the thermal models with a bare Boltzmann-Gibbs exponential distribution nor perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD)-motivated power-law distributions are able to describe the whole spectrum.…”

“…With the appearance of high precision experimental data spanning from low-to high-p T , neither the thermal models with a bare Boltzmann-Gibbs exponential distribution nor perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD)-motivated power-law distributions are able to describe the whole spectrum. On the other hand, the Tsallis-Pareto distributions combine these two regions perfectly (see, e.g., [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and references therein). During the investigation of the parameters, we showed that they possess non-trivial relations such as mass-and energy scaling [1,8].…”

“…Power-like distributions have been used to describe momentum distributions in high energy collisions. Many researchers have studied momentum distributions, and have used Tsallis-type distributions [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. It has been reported that Tsallis-type distributions describe well momentum distributions.…”
