Systematic Properties of the Tsallis Distribution: Energy Dependence of Parameters

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-17 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Changes in the transverse momentum distributions with beam energy are studied using the Tsallis distribution as a parameterization. The dependence of the Tsallis parameters q, T and the volume on beam energy is determined. The Tsallis parameter q shows a weak but clear increase with beam energy with the highest value being approximately 1.15. The Tsallis temperature and volume are consistent with being independent of beam energy within experimental uncertainties.
