Abstract

We review the ALCOR hadronization model developed for the description of hadron spectra emerging from a thermalized quark matter. Following the basics of non-extensive thermodynamics and QCD lattice equation of state we present results on pion and antiproton spectra composed from a cut power-law distributed quark matter with continuous mass quasiparticles. We emphasize that the particle spectra in the p_T ≫m regime should follow the quark coalescence scaling law for the Tsallis parameter q-1.
