Extended Gaussian ensemble or q-statistics in hadronic production processes?

Abstract

The extended Gaussian ensemble introduced recently as a generalization of the canonical ensemble, which allows to treat energy fluctuations present in the system, is used to analyze the inelasticity distributions in high energy multiparticle production processes.Comment: Presented at NEXT2005 (News, Expectations and Trends in Statistical Physics, NEXT-SigmaPhi 3rd International Conference) 13-18 August 2005, Kolymbari CRETE, minor corrections, to be published in Europ.
