R\'enyi statistics in high energy particle production

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

It is shown that R\'enyi statistics provides a plausible basis to describe the hadron distributions measured in high energy particle interactions. Generalized Boltzmann and gamma distributions obtained by maximization of R\'enyi entropy under constraints on Kolmogorov-Nagumo averages are used to describe the hadron transverse momentum and multiplicity spectra correspondingly.
