Description

Non-extensive thermodynamics is a novel approach to fields in high energy physics. The low and intermediate transverse momentum spectra are extremely well reproduced by the Tsallis-Pareto distribution however, the physical origin of the Tsallis parameter is still an unsettled question. Understanding hadronization processes in heavy-ion collisions requires more detailed tests, especially at high transverse momenta, where we are far from the thermal equilibrium state. In my talk I focus on parton fragmentation processes at the final state, I analyze whether the power-law-tailed fragmentation functions do overlap with Tsallis-Pareto energy distribution, reproducing experimental data.
