In two different phase transition models of nuclear fragmentation we show that the emission of pre-equilibrium particles and mixing of events from different classes cannot be ignored in the analysis of nuclear fragmentation data in terms of…
We consider collision of two particles near static electrically charged extremal black holes and elucidate the conditions under which the energy in the centre of mass frame E_{c.m.} grows unbounded. For a single black hole, we generalize…
Entropy in thermodynamics is an extensive quantity, whereas standard methods in statistical mechanics give rise to a non-extensive expression for the entropy. This discrepancy is often seen as a sign that basic formulas of statistical…

We review from the point of view of nonextensive statistics the ubiquitous presence in elementary and heavy-ion collisions of power-law distributions. Special emphasis is placed on the conjecture that this is just a reflection of some…
