Abstract

The transverse momentum spectra of secondary pions and kaons, produced in P + P and various central Pb + Pb collisions at TeV at LHC, have been analyzed systematically with an approach based on Tsallis non-extensive statistics. The analytical results have been utilized to determine some of the very important thermodynamical parameters bearing characteristic signatures of the partonic medium produced in such collisions.
