Obtained via the maximisation of a modified entropy, the Tsallis distribution has been used to fit the transverse momentum distributions of identified particles from several high energy experiments. We propose a form of the distribution described in Cleymans and Worku, 2012, and show it to be thermodynamically consistent. Transverse momenta distributions and fits from ALICE, ATLAS, and CMS using both Tsallis and Boltzmann distributions are presented. 2015-07-08T06:23:35Z 2015-07-08T06:23:35Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13391 eng application/pdf Department of Physics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
