The Parameters of The Tsallis Distribution at the LHC

This talk focuses on fits, using the Tsallis distribution, extending to very large values of the transverse momentum of charged particles in p-p collisions and on the energy dependence of the parameters. A thermodynamically consistent form of the distribution is used for fitting the transverse momentum spectra at mid-rapidity. The fits based on the proposed distribution provide a very good description over 14 orders of magnitude. The parameters obtained show a smooth increase in the value of q and a corresponding smooth decrease in the value of T with increasing beam energy.
