摘要
The mid-rapidity transverse momentum spectra of charmed mesons in Pb–Pb and pp(p)collisions are analyzed using the Tsallis–Pareto distribution derived from non-extensive statistics.We provide uniform descriptions of both small and large systems over a wide range of collision energies and hadron transverse momenta.By establishing the relationship between the event multiplicity and Tsallis parameters,we observe that there is a signifi-cant linear relationship between the thermal temperature and Tsallis q parameter in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV.Further,the slope of the T–(q-1)parameter plot is positively correlated with the hadron mass.In addition,charmed mesons have a higher thermal temperature than light hadrons at the same q-1,indicat-ing that the charm flavor requires a higher temperature to reach the same degree of non-extensivity as light flavors in heavy-ion collisions.The same fit is applied to the trans-verse momentum spectra of charmed mesons in pp(p)collisions over a large energy range using the Tsallis–Pareto distribution.It is found that the thermal temperature increases with system energy,whereas the q parameter becomes saturated at the pp(p)limit,q-1=0.142±0.010.In addition,the results of most peripheral Pb–Pb collisions are found to approach the pp(p)limit,which suggests that more peripheral heavy-ion collisions are less affected by the medium and more similar to pp(p)collisions.
