The transverse momentum distributions of the identified particles produced in small collision systems at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have been analyzed by four models. The first two models utilize the blast-wave model with different statistics. The last two models employ certain linear correspondences based on different distributions. The four models describe the experimental data measured by the Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (PHENIX), Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR), and A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) cCollaborations equally well. It is found that both the kinetic freeze-out temperature and transverse flow velocity in the central collisions are comparable with those in the peripheral collisions. With the increase of collision energy from that of the RHIC to that of the LHC, the considered quantities typically do not decrease. Comparing with the central collisions, the proton-proton collisions are closer to the peripheral collisions.R 0 rβ(r)dr = 2β S /(n 0 + 2) = 0.5β S . ii) TBW model [9]: in this model we also considered a non-zero β T .
The kinetic freeze-out temperatures, T 0 , in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies are extracted by four methods: i) the Blast-Wave model with Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics (the BGBW model), ii) the Blast-Wave model with Tsallis statistics (the TBW model), iii) the Tsallis distribution with flow effect (the improved Tsallis distribution), and iv) the intercept in T = T 0 + am 0 (the alternative method), where m 0 denotes the rest mass and T denotes the effective temperature which can be obtained by different distribution functions. It is found that the relative sizes of T 0 in central and peripheral collisions obtained by the conventional BGBW model which uses a zero or nearly zero transverse flow velocity, β T , are contradictory in tendency with other methods. With a re-examination for β T in the first method in which β T is taken to be ∼ (0.40 ± 0.07)c, a recalculation presents a consistent result with others. Finally, our results show that the kinetic freeze-out temperature in central collisions is larger than that in peripheral collisions.R 0 rβ(r)dr = 2β S /(n 0 +2). In the case of n 0 = 2 as used in ref.[11], we have β T = 0.5β S [31].According to refs. [14], the TBW model results in
Transverse momentum spectra of different particles produced in midrapidity interval in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions with different centrality intervals, measured by the ALICE Collaboration at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √ s N N = 2.76TeV, are conformably and approximately described by the Tsallis distribution. The dependences of parameters (effective temperature, entropy index, and normalization factor) on event centrality and particle rest mass are obtained. The source temperature at the kinetic freeze-out is obtained to be the intercept in the linear relation between effective temperature and particle rest mass, while the particle (transverse) flow velocity in the source rest frame is extracted to be the slope in the linear relation between mean (transverse) momentum and mean moving mass. It is shown that the source temperature increases with increase of particle rest mass, which exhibits an evidence of mass dependent differential kinetic freeze-out scenario or multiple kinetic freeze-out scenario.
