Power-law tailed spectra from equilibrium Original Research Article

We propose that power-law tailed hadron spectra may be viewed as stemming from a matter in an unconventional equilibrium state typical for non-extensive thermodynamics. A non-extensive Boltzmann equation, which is able to form such spectra as a stationary solution, is utilized as a rough model of quark matter hadronization. Basic ideas about a non-extensive simulation of the QCD equation of state on the lattice are presented.
