Description of high-energyppcollisions using Tsallis thermodynamics: Transverse momentum and rapidity distributions

Abstract: A systematic analysis of transverse momentum and rapidity distributions measured in high-energy proton -proton (pp) collisions for energies ranging from 53 GeV to 7 TeV using Tsallis thermodynamics is presented. The excellent description of all transverse momentum spectra obtained in earlier analyses is confirmed and extended. All energies can be described by a single Tsallis temperature of 68 ± 5 MeV at all beam energies and particle types investigated (43 in total). The value of the entropic index, q, shows … Show more

“…All the results approach Hagedorn's results as q → 1. The resulting values for q and T support the above findings of a constant temperature and entropic index, regardless of the collision energy (as long as it is above approximately 1 TeV) or the particle species [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57].…”

“…It was shown in recent publications that fits based on the Tsallis distribution [1] give a good description of transverse momentum distributions of charged particles measured in p-p collisions at the LHC [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Some of these fits extend to values of p T up to 200 GeV/c [11][12][13][14][15] and provide an excellent description over 14 orders of magnitude in the transverse momentum spectrum.…”
