We present a study of both the ``Iterative Procedure'' and the ``$\beta \to \beta'$ transformation'', proposed by Tsallis et al (Physica A261, 534) to find the probabilities $p_i$ of a system to be in a state with energy $\epsilon_i$,…

Relativistic particle production often requires the use of Tsallis statistics to account for the apparently power-like behavior of transverse momenta observed in the data even at a few GeV/c. In such an approach this behavior is attributed…

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 $(q-1)$,…
The nature of dark matter (DM) and how it might interact with the particles of the Standard Model (SM) is one of greatest mysteries currently facing particle physics, and addressing these issues should provide some understanding of how the…

The thermodynamic relations in the Tsallis statistics were studied with physical quantities. An additive entropic variable related to the Tsallis entropy was introduced by assuming the form of the first law of the thermodynamics. The…
We construct modified cosmological scenarios through the application of the first law of thermodynamics in the universe horizon, but using the generalized, nonextensive Tsallis entropy instead of the usual Bekenstein-Hawking one. We result…
