Non-Gaussian velocity distributions Maxwell would understand

In 1988, Constantino Tsallis proposed an extension of the Boltzmann statistical mechanics by postulating a new entropy formula, Sq = kB ln qW, where W is the number of microstates accessible to the system, and lnq defines a deformation of the logarithmic function. This top-down approach recovers the...
