Systematic properties of the Tsallis Distribution: Energy Dependence of Parameters in High-Energy p-p Collisions

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Changes in the transverse momentum distributions with beam energy are studied using the Tsallis distribution as a parameterization. The dependence of the Tsallis parameters q, T and the volume are determined as a function of beam energy. The Tsallis parameter q shows a weak but clear increase with beam energy with the highest value being approximately 1.15. The Tsallis temperature and volume are consistent with being independent of beam energy within experimental uncertainties.
