Nonextensive Tsallis statistics in Unruh effect for Dirac neutrinos

Abstract Flavor mixing of quantum fields was found to be responsible for the breakdown of the thermality of Unruh effect. Recently, this result was revisited in the context of nonextensive Tsallis thermostatistics, showing that the emergent vacuum condensate can still be featured as a thermal-like b...
