A recent attempt to extend Shannon's source coding theorem with a nonadditive information content is briefly reviewed. The information entropy used here is a modified form of Tsallis entropy (Tsallis entropy divided by the factor ∑ipiq). In addition we refer to some relations which can be...

We present an overview of information theory approach (both in its extensive and nonextensive versions) applied to high-energy multiparticle production processes. It will be illustrated by analysis of single-particle distributions measured in proton–proton, proton–antiproton and nuclear...

The application of information theory approach (both in its extensive and nonextensive versions) to high-energy multiparticle production processes is discussed and confronted with experimental data on e+e− annihilation processes, pp and p̄p scatterings and heavy ion collisions.
