Nonextensive statistical effects in the quark-gluon plasma formation at
relativistic heavy-ion collisions energies    [PDF]

G. Gervino, A. Lavagno, D. Pigato

We investigate the relativistic equation of state of hadronic matter and
quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and baryon density in the framework of
the non-extensive statistical mechanics, characterized by power-law quantum
distributions. We impose the Gibbs conditions on the global conservation of
baryon number, electric charge and strangeness number. For the hadronic phase,
we study an extended relativistic mean-field theoretical model with the
inclusion of strange particles (hyperons and mesons). For the quark sector, we
employ an extended MIT-Bag model. In this context we focus on the relevance of
non-extensive effects in the presence of strange matter.
