Statistical mechanics at the edge of chaos – High energy physics and plasmas

Speaker

Constantino Tsallis (Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Fisicas)

Description

The introduction of nonadditive entropies enables a convenient generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics, currently referred to as nonextensive statistical mechanics. Its foundations and illustrative applications to high energy physics, plasmas and scale-free networks will be briefly presented.
