A statistical mechanical view on high energy physics

• Constantino Tsallis

Room: 4/3-006 - TH Conference Room The use of the celebrated Boltzmann-­-Gibbs entropy and statistical mechanics is justified for ergodic-like systems. In contrast, complex systems typically require more powerful theories. We will provide a brief introduction to nonadditive entropies and associated nonextensive statistical mechanics, and then present some recent applications to systems such as high-­energy collisions, black holes and others.

The Tsallis Distribution at the LHC.

• Jean Cleymans (University of Cape Town)

Room: 4/3-006 - TH Conference Room In this talk we review applications of the Tsallis distribution in high energy physics covering p-p, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisons at ALICE, ATLAS and CMS. Results from STAR and PHENIX will also be reviewed. The energy dependence of the three parameters, volume, q and T will be discussed in great detail.
