Three-dimensional Statistical Jet Fragmentation

We reproduce the distribution of the longitudinal and transverse components of momenta of charged hadrons stemming from jets created in proton-proton collisions at s^1/2 = 7 TeV by a statistical fragmentation model. Our hadronization model is based on microcanonical statistics and negative binomial multiplicity fluctuations. We describe the scale dependence of the fit parameters of the model with formulas obtained by approximating the exact solution of the DGLAP equation in the phi^3 theory with leading order splitting function and 1-loop coupling.Comment: conference "XXIV International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects, 11-15 April, 2016, DESY Hamburg, Germany". Here, we present the application of our model to jets stemming from proton-proton collisions. A detailed discussion of this model can be found in arXiv:1606.03208, where we analyze jets from positron-proton scattering

Long-range Correlations in Massive Jets

We calculate the azimuthal anisotropy $v_2$ extracted from the large $\Delta y$ region of two particle $\Delta y-\Delta\phi$ correlations in a two-jet system, in which, the masses of the jets are not negligible compared to their energies. As the virtualities of the leading partons, initiating these jets are not negligible either, we use a recently developed, off-shell fragmentation model for the description of hadron production in the jets. We present the effect of the variation of jet mass and hadron multiplicity on the shape of the $v_2$ curve, and reproduce the low-multiplicity data set measured in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt s = 13$ TeV.Comment: XXVII International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects - DIS2019, 8-12 April, 2019, Torino, Ital

Non-Extensive Approach to Quark Matter

We review the idea of generating non-extensive stationary distributions based on abstract composition rules for the subsystem energies, in particular the relativistic generalized Boltzmann equation method. The thermodynamical behavior of such systems is investigated and hadron spectra stemming from relativistic heavy ion collisions are calculated by assuming quark coalescence.Comment: Review prepared for The European Physical Journal A - Hadrons and Nuclei, as part of a review block about applications of non-extensive thermodynamics in high-energy phenomen

Statistical Power Law due to Reservoir Fluctuations and the Universal Thermostat Independence Principle

Certain fluctuations in particle number at fixed total energy lead exactly to a cut-power law distribution in the one-particle energy, via the induced fluctuations in the phase-space volume ratio. The temperature parameter is expressed automatically by an equipartition relation, while the q-parameter is related to the scaled variance and to the expectation value of the particle number. For the binomial distribution q is smaller, for the negative binomial q is larger than one. These results also represent an approximation for general particle number distributions in the reservoir up to second order in the canonical expansion. For general systems the average phase-space volume ratio expanded to second order delivers a q parameter related to the heat capacity and to the variance of the temperature. However, q differing from one leads to non-additivity of the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. We demonstrate that a deformed entropy, K(S), can be constructed and used for demanding additivity. This requirement leads to a second order differential equation for K(S). Finally, the generalized q-entropy formula contains the Tsallis, Renyi and Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon expressions as particular cases. For diverging temperature variance we obtain a novel entropy formula.Comment: Talk given by T.S.Biro at Sigma Phi 2014, Rhodos, Greec

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

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

Scale dependence of the

The dependence of the q and T parameters of the Tsallis-distribution-shaped fragmentation function (FF) on the fragmentation scale (found to be equal to the jet mass) is calculated via the resummation of the branching process of jet fragmentation in the leading-log appriximation (LLA) in the $$\phi ^3$$ theory. Jet and hadron spectra in electron-positron ($$e^+e^-$$) annihilations with 2- and 3-jet final states are calculated using virtual leading partons. It is found that jets, produced earlier in the branching process, are more energetic, and the energy, angle and multiplicity distributions of hadrons stemming from them are broader. It is also found that replacing the LL resummation in the branching process by a single splitting provides good approximation for the jet energy distribution in 2-jet events. Furthermore, a micro-canonical statistical event generator is presented for the event-by-event calculation of hadron momenta in $$e^+e^-$$ annihilations
