Rapidity spectra analysis in terms of non-extensive statistic approach
Abstract
We provide the description of rapidity spectra of particles produced in pp collisions using the anomalous diffusion approach to account for their non-equilibrium character. In particular, we exhibit connections between multiproduction processes and anomalous diffusion described through the nonlinear Focker-Planck equation with a nonlinearity given by the nonextensivity parameter q describing the underlying Tsallis q-statistics. We demonstrate how this leads to the Feynman scaling violation in these collisions. The q parameter obtained in this way turns out to be closely connected to the parameter 1/k converting the original poissonian multiplicity distribution to its observed Negative Binomial form. The inelasticity of the reaction has also been calculated and found to slightly decrease with increasing reaction energy.
