Can Tsallis distribution fit all the particle spectra produced at RHIC and LHC?
read the original abstract
The Tsallis distribution has been tested to fit the all particle spectra at mid-rapidity from central events produced in d+Au, Cu+Cu, Au+Au collisions at RHIC and p+Pb, Pb+Pb collisions at LHC. Even though there are strong medium effects in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions, the results show that the Tsallis distribution can be used to fit most of particle spectra in the collisions studied except in Au+Au collisions where some deviations are seen for proton and $\Lambda$ at low $p_T$. In addition, as the Tsallis distribution can only fit part of the particle spectra produced in Pb+Pb collisions where $p_T$ is up to 20 GeV/c, a new formula with one more fitting degree of freedom is proposed in order to reproduce the entire $p_T$ region.
