Abstract

We determine the temperature fluctuations associated with the Higgs boson pT spectrum through the derivation of the string tension distribution corresponding to the QCD-based Hagedorn function, frequently used to fit the transverse momentum distribution (TMD). The identified string tension fluctuations are heavy tailed, behaving similarly to the q-Gaussian distribution. After the convolution with the Schwinger mechanism, both approaches correctly describe the entire TMD. This approach leads to the nonthermal description of the particle production in ultrarelativistic pp collisions. By analyzing the data of pp collisions at s=13 TeV, we found that the average temperature associated with the Higgs boson differential cross section is around 85 times greater than the estimated value for the charged particle TMD. Our results show that the Higgs boson production exhibits the largest deviation from the thermal description. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
