Pion Production Via Resonance Decay in a Non-extensive Quark-Gluon Medium with Non-additive Energy Composition Rule

Abstract

Resonance production and decay into pion pairs is simulated in a non-extensive quark matter with multi-particle interactions. Final state pion spectra are found to take the form of the Tsallis distribution, in accordance with measurements. It has also been shown that, if a large number of particles with these multi-particle interactions are constrained to a constant energy hyper-surface in phase space, the one-particle distribution is the Tsallis distribution.
