Can Tsallis Distribution Fit All the Particle Spectra Produced at RHIC and LHC?

The Tsallis distribution has been tested to fit all the particle spectra at mid-rapidity from central events produced in d + Au, Cu + Cu, and Au + Au collisions at RHIC and p + Pb, Pb + Pb collisions at LHC. Even though there are strong medium effects in Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions, the results s...

description The Tsallis distribution has been tested to fit all the particle spectra at mid-rapidity from central events produced in d + Au, Cu + Cu, and Au + Au collisions at RHIC and p + Pb, Pb + Pb collisions at LHC. Even though there are strong medium effects in Cu + Cu and Au + Au collisions, the results show that the Tsallis distribution can be used to fit most of particle spectra in the collisions studied except in Au + Au collisions where some deviations are seen for proton and Λ at low pT. In addition, as the Tsallis distribution can only fit part of the particle spectra produced in Pb + Pb collisions where pT is up to 20 GeV/c, a new formula with one more fitting degree of freedom is proposed in order to reproduce the entire pT region.
