We perform direct numerical simulations of the HMF model starting from non-magnetized initial conditions with a velocity distribution that is (i) gaussian, (ii) semi-elliptical, and (iii) waterbag. Below a critical energy E_c, depending on…
Systems with long-range interactions can reach a Quasi Stationary State (QSS) as a result of a violent collisionless relaxation. If the system mixes well (ergodicity), the QSS can be predicted by the statistical theory of Lynden-Bell (1967)…
We study dynamical phase transitions in systems with long-range interactions, using the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model as a simple example. These systems generically undergo a violent relaxation to a quasi-stationary state (QSS) before…
The Tsallis distribution has been used widely in high energy physics to describe the transverse momnetum distributions of particles. In this note we show that the use of a thermodynamically consistent form of this distribution leads to a…
We discuss a Tsallis distribution with complex nonextensivity parameter $q$. In this case the usual distribution is decorated with a log-periodic oscillating factor (apparently, such oscillations can bee seen in recently measured transverse…
The Tsallis distribution has been used recently to fit the transverse momentum distributions of identified particles by the STAR collaboration \cite{Abelev:2006cs} at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and by the ALICE \cite{Aamodt:2011zj}…
We discuss the meaning of Tsallis functional in astrophysics. The energy functional of a polytropic star is similar to Tsallis free energy and the H-function associated with a stellar polytrope is similar to Tsallis entropy. More generally,…
An ion held in a radiofrequency trap interacting with a uniform buffer gas of neutral atoms develops a steady-state energy distribution characterised by a power-law tail at high energies instead of the exponential decay characteristic of…
Nonadditive Tsallis $q$-statistics has successfully been applied for a plethora of systems in natural sciences and other branches of knowledge. Nevertheless, its foundations have been severely criticised by some authors based on the…
We studied the thermodynamic quantities and the probability distribution, expressing the probability distribution as a function of the energy, in the canonical ensemble within the framework of the Tsallis statistics, which is characterized…
In this paper, we present some geometric properties of the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) Tsallis- distributions under energy constraint. In the case q > 1, these distributions are proved to be marginals of uniform distributions on the sphere; in…
An ion in a radiofrequency ion trap interacting with a buffer gas of ultracold neutral atoms is a driven dynamical system which has been found to develop a non-thermal energy distribution with a power law tail. The exact analytical form of…
We derive and study quasicanonical Gibbs distribution function which is characterized by the thermostat with finite number of particles (quasithermostat). We show that this naturally leads to Tsallis nonextensive statistics and…
We revisit the issues on the thermodynamic property of stellar self-gravitating system arising from Tsallis' non-extensive entropy. Previous papers (Taruya & Sakagami, Physica A 307 (2002) 185 (cond-mat/0107494); ibid. (2002) in press…
We investigate the limiting cases of Tsallis statistics. The viewpoint adopted is not the standard information-theoretic one, where one derives the distribution from a given measure of information. Instead the mechanical approach recently…
The energy distribution and the energy fluctuation in the Tsallis canonical ensemble are studied with the OLM formalism but following a new way. The resulting formula for the energy fluctuation is not the same as that in previous work [Liu…
We expand the Tsallis distribution in a Taylor series of powers of (q-1), where q is the Tsallis parameter, assuming q is very close to 1. This helps in studying the degree of deviation of transverse momentum spectra and other thermodynamic…
The current status of implementing Tsallis (nonextensive) statistics on high-energy physics is briefly reviewed. The remarkably low freezeout-temperature, which apparently fails to reproduce the first-principle lattice QCD thermodynamics…
We perform a Taylor series expansion of Tsallis distribution by assuming the Tsallis parameter $q$ close to 1. The $q$ value shows the deviation of a system from a thermalised Boltzmann distribution. By taking up to first order in $(q-1)$,…
When one integrates the q-exponential function of Tsallis' so as to get the partition function $Z$, a gamma function inevitably emerges. Consequently, poles arise. We investigate here here the thermodynamic significance of these poles in…
