Statistical-thermodynamical analysis, using Tsallis statistics, in high energy physics

Includes bibliographical references. === 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...
