Transverse Momentum Distributions at the LHC and Tsallis Thermodynamics

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-10-02 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

An overview is presented of transverse momentum distributions of particles at the LHC using the Tsallis distribution. The use of a thermodynamically consistent form of this distribution leads to an excellent description of charged and identified particles. The values of the Tsallis parameter q are truly remarkably consistent.
