Abstract

We derive approximate iterative analytical solutions of the non-extensive Boltzmann transport equation in the relaxation time approximation. The approximate solutions almost overlap with the exact solution for a considerably wide range of the parameter values found in describing particle spectra originated in high-energy collisions. We also discuss the Landau kinetic approximation of the non-extensive Boltzmann transport equation and the emergence of the non-extensive Fokker-Planck equation, and use it to estimate the drag and diffusion coefficients of highly energetic light quarks passing through a gluonic plasma.
