Momentum distribution and correlation function of free particles in the Tsallis statistics using conventional expectation value and equilibrium temperature

Abstract

We applied the Tsallis statistics with the conventional expectation value to a system of free particles, adopting the equilibrium temperature, which is often called the physical temperature. The entropic parameter $q$ in the Tsallis statistics is less than one for power-law-like distribution. The well-known relation between the energy and the temperature in the Boltzmann--Gibbs statistics holds in the Tsallis statistics, when the equilibrium temperature is adopted. We derived the momentum distribution and the correlation function in the Tsallis statistics. The momentum distribution and the correlation function in the Tsallis statistics are different from those in the Boltzmann--Gibbs statistics, even when the equilibrium temperature is adopted. These quantities depend on $q$ and $N$, where $N$ is the number of particles. It is also shown that the parameter $q$ is required to satisfy $1-1/(3N/2+1)<q<1$.
