Description

The transverse momentum distributions of final-state particles produced in collisions at energies available at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are studied by using the two-Boltzmann distribution and Tsallis statistics. Experimental distributions described by the two-Boltzmann distribution can be described by the Tsallis statistics. The two-temperature emission described by the two-Boltzmann distribution reflects temperature fluctuation of interacting system. The Tsallis statistics can describe the temperature fluctuation and the degree of non-equilibrium. The results calculated by the two-Boltzmann distribution and the Tsallis statistics are in agreement with the experimental data available at the LHC energies. In some cases, the two-Boltzmann distribution degenerates to (single) Boltzmann distribution. (orig.)
