Statistical Behavior of Finite-Size Partially Equilibrated Systems

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We examine deviations from Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics for partially equilibrated systems of finite size. We find that such systems are characterized by the Levy distribution whose non-extensivity parameter is related to the number of internally equilibrated subsystems and to correlations among them. This concept is applied to Quark-Gluon Plasma formation.
