Temperature fluctuations and Tsallis statistics in Relativistic Heavy Ion collisions

Abstract

We study temperature fluctuations in the initial stages of the relativistic heavy ion collision using a multiphase transport model. We consider the plasma in the initial stages after collision before it has a chance to equilibrate. We have considered Au + Au collision with a center of mass energy of 200 GeV. We use the non extensive Tsallis statistics to find the entropic index in the partonic stages of the relativistic heavy ion collisions. We find that the temperature and the entropic index have a linear relationship during the partonic stages of the heavy ion collision. This has already been observed in the hadronic phase. A detailed analysis of the dependence of the entropic index on the system shows that for increasing space time rapidity, the entropic index of the partonic system increases. The entropic index also depends on the beam collision energy. The calculation of the entropic index from the experimental data fitting of the transverse momenta deals with the hadronic phase. However, our current study shows that the behaviour of the entropic index in the initial non-equilibrium stage of the collision is very similar to the behaviour of the entropic index in the hadronic stage.
