Abstract

We studied the chiral phase transition for small 1q|1-q| within the Tsallis nonextensive statistics of the entropic parameter qq, where the quantity 1q|1-q| is the measure of the deviation from the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics. We adopted the normalized qq-expectation value in this study. We applied the free particle approximation and the massless approximation in the calculations of the expectation values. We estimated the critical physical temperature, and obtained the chiral condensate, the sigma mass, and the pion mass, as functions of the physical temperature TphT_{\mathrm{ph}} for various qq. We found the following facts. The qq-dependence of the critical physical temperature is 1/q1/\sqrt{q}. The chiral condensate at qq is smaller than that at qq' for q>qq>q'. The qq-dependence of the pion mass and that of the sigma mass reflect the qq-dependence of the condensate. The pion mass at qq is heavier than that at qq' for q>qq>q'. The sigma mass at qq is heavier than that at qq' for q>qq>q' at high physical temperature, while the sigma mass at qq is lighter than that at qq' for q>qq>q' at low physical temperature. The quantities which are functions of the physical temperature TphT_{\mathrm{ph}} and the entropic parameter qq are described by only the effective physical temperature defined as qTph\sqrt{q} T_{\mathrm{ph}} under the approximations.
