Non-extensive statistics, relativistic kinetic theory and fluid dynamics

Experimental particle spectra can be successfully described by power-law tailed energy distributions characteristic to canonical equilibrium distributions associated to Rényi's or Tsallis' entropy formula - over a wide range of energies, colliding system sizes, and produced hadron sorts. In order to derive its evolution one needs a corresponding dynamical description of the system which results in such final state observables. The equations of relativistic fluid dynamics are obtained from a non-extensive Boltzmann equation consistent with Tsallis' non-extensive $q$-entropy formula. The transport coefficients like shear viscosity, bulk viscosity, and heat conductivity are evaluate based on a linearized collision integral.
