Deskripsi

By assuming the existence of memory effects and long-range interactions, nonextensive statistics together with relativistic hydrodynamics including phase transition are used to discuss the transverse momentum distributions of charged particles produced in heavy ion collisions. It is shown that the combined contributions from nonextensive statistics and hydrodynamics can give a good description of the experimental data in Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV and in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV for π± and K± in the whole measured transverse momentum region and for pp- in the region of pT≤2.0 GeV/c. This is different from our previous work using the conventional statistics plus hydrodynamics, where the describable region is only limited in pT≤1.1 GeV/c.
