P. Mahapatra" ], "categories": [ "nucl-th", "hep-ph" ], "abstract": "We have implemented the Tsallis q-statistics in the Weibull model of particle production known as the q-Weibull distribution to describe the transverse-momentum (pT ) distribution of the charged hadrons at mid-rapidity measured at RHIC and LHC energies. The model describes the data remarkably well for the entire pT range measured in nucleus-nucleus and nucleon-nucleon collisions. The proposed distribution is based on the non-extensive Tsallis q-statistics which replaces the usual thermal equilibrium assumption of hydrodynamical models. The parameters of the distribution can be related to the various aspects of complex dynamics associated with such collision process.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-11-12T17:46:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heavy ion collision", "transverse momentum distribution", "q-weibull formalism", "tsallis q-statistics", "usual thermal equilibrium assumption" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
