TL;DR

This paper uses a Tsallis nonextensive model to analyze jet transverse momentum distributions, highlighting the influence of energy conservation laws and revealing power-law behaviors similar to hadron spectra.

Contribution

It introduces a nonextensive approach to jet spectra analysis and explores the impact of energy limitations on these distributions.

Findings

Jet spectra follow a power-law distribution with indices similar to hadron spectra.

Energy conservation laws influence the shape of jet transverse momentum distributions.

The Tsallis approach effectively models the observed spectra.

Abstract

Using a 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.
