Abstract

Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics is known to exhibit fundamental difficulties when a system under consideration contains long-range interactions. Tsallis' nonextensive statistical mechanics offers a consistent theoretical framework for treatment of such a system. In this article, an approach to statistically describing pure-electron plasma based on the Tsallis entropy is reviewed and related problems are discussed.
