Two generalizations of the Boltzmann equation

We connect two different generalizations of Boltzmann's kinetic theory by requiring the same stationary solution. Non-extensive statistics can be produced by either using corresponding collision rates nonlinear in the one-particle densities or equivalently by using nontrivial energy composition rules in the energy conservation constraint. Direct transformation formulas between key functions of the two approaches are given.Comment: Talk given at the 3rd NEXT-Sigma-Phi Conference, Crete, Aug.2005, revtex, 10 page, 2 fig

Numerical simulation of non-extensive Boltzmann equation

We present first results of the development of a test particle simulation for solving non-extensive extensions of the elastic two-particle Boltzmann equation. Stationary one-particle energy distributions with power-law tail are obtained.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, Quark Matter 2005 (Budapest) conferenc

Non-extensive equilibration in relativistic matter

We present a view of the non-extensive thermodynamics based on general composition rules. A formal logarithm maps these rules to the addition, which can be used to generate stationary distributions by standard techniques. We review the most commonly used rules and as an application we discuss the Tsallis-Pareto distribution of transverse momenta of energetic hadrons, which emerge from relativistic heavy-ion collisions.Comment: Talk presented at SigmaPhi 2008 Conference, Crete, Greece.

What is the temperature in heavy ion collisions?

We consider the Tsallis distribution as the source of the apparent slope of one-particle spectra in heavy-ion collisions and investigate the equation of state of this special quark matter in the framework of non-extensive thermodynamics.Comment: Talk given by T.S.Biro at RHIC School 2003, Dec.8-11, 2003, Budapest, Hungar

Pion and Kaon Spectra from Distributed Mass Quark Matter

After discussing some hints for possible masses of quasiparticles in quark matter on the basis of lattice equation of state, we present pion and kaon transverse spectra obtained by recombining quarks with distributed mass and thermal cut power-law momenta as well as fragmenting by NLO pQCD with intrinsic $k_T$ {and nuclear} broadening.Comment: Talk given at SQM 200
