Quantal distribution functions in non-extensive statistics and an early universe test revisited

Abstract

Within the context of non-extensive thermostatistics, we use the factorization approximation to study a recently proposed early universe test. A very restrictive bound upon the non-extensive parameter is presented: $|q-1| < 4.01 \times 10^{-3}$.Comment: 4 pages, prl revtex style, no figures. To appear in Physica A, 199
