Consequences of temperature fluctuations in observables measured in high energy collisions
We review the consequences of intrinsic, nonstatistical temperature
fluctuations as seen in observables measured in high energy collisions. We do
this from the point of view of nonextensive statistics and Tsallis
distributions. Particular attention is paid to multiplicity fluctuations as a
first consequence of temperature fluctuations, to the equivalence of
temperature and volume fluctuations, to the generalized thermodynamic
fluctuations relations allowing us to compare fluctuations observed in
different parts of phase space, and to the problem of the relation between
Tsallis entropy and Tsallis distributions. We also discuss the possible
influence of conservation laws on these distributions and provide some examples
of how one can get them without considering temperature fluctuations.Comment: Revised version of the invited contribution to The European Physical
