Influence of Tsallis q-entropy on occurrence scattering time in a nonextensive plasma

Abstract

Abstract The essence of Tsallis q-entropy on the occurrence scattering time (OST) process is derived for a nonextensive plasma. The semiclassical eikonal dissection and the nonextensive q-distribution function are used to derive the OST with variables of projectile energy, scattering angle, electron entropic index, ion entropic index, and impact parameter. Our calculations find that the OST advance in a nonextensive plasma decreases with the entropic index. We have seen that the Tsallis q-entropy on the OST advance grows up fast as the scattering angle increases. We also obtained that the nature of Tsallis q-entropy on the OST advance diminishes in forward scattering direction in a nonextensive plasma. Moreover, the authority of the electron q-entropy is found to be greater than the that of ion q-entropy in the cold electron plasma, i.e., when the electron temperature is lower than the ion temperature. However, if the ion temperature is lower than the electron temperature, the authority of the ion q-entropy is more momentous than that of the electron q-entropy.
