A Non-Extensive Model for Quark Matter Produced in Heavy Ion Collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We describe quark matter in the framework of non-extensive thermodynamics. We point out that partcile spectra with power-law tail lead to an increased energy and entropy per particle. This way even a massless plasma may give E/N = 1 GeV at T = 175 MeV temperature, alike thermal hadronic fits to RHIC experiment. In this case E/NT = 6 instead of 3.
