A comparative study of hadron-hadron and heavy-ion collision using the $q$-Weibull distribution function

TL;DR

This study compares charged hadron spectra in different collision types using the $q$-Weibull distribution, revealing disparities in the $q$ parameter at high transverse momentum, which may indicate medium formation.

Contribution

It introduces a comparative analysis of hadron spectra across collision systems using the $q$-Weibull distribution, highlighting differences in the $q$ parameter at high $p_T$.

Findings

Disparity in $q$ parameter trend at high $p_T$

Potential indication of QGP-like medium formation

Differences observed between $pp$, $pPb$, and $PbPb$ collisions

Abstract

Recent results on multiplicity dependent transverse momentum spectra data in different high multiplicity $pp$ collision have opened a window to search for QGP like medium in hadron-hadron collision. In this work we have performed a comparative study of charged hadron spectra in $pp$, $pPb$ and $PbPb$ collision using the $q$ parameter obtained from the $q$-Weibull distribution function. We observed a disparity in the trend of $q$ parameter in high $p_T$ range.
