Abstract

Using the Tsallis nonextensive approach, we analyse distributions of transverse spectra of jets. We discuss the possible influence of energy conservation laws on these distributions. Transverse spectra of jets exhibit a power-law behavior of 1/p _T ⁿ with the power indices n similar to those for transverse spectra of hadrons.
