It is based on nonextensive statistics assumed in the form proposed by Tsallis and characterized by a nonextensivity parameter q. In this formulation the parameter q describes some specific form of local equilibrium which is characteristic for the nonex- tensive thermodynamics and which replaces the local thermal equilibrium assumption of the usual hydrodynamical models. We argue that there is correspondence between the perfect nonextensive hydrodynamics and the usual dissipative hydrodynamics. It leads to simple expression for dissipa- tive entropy current and allows for predictions for the ratio of bulk and shear viscosities to entropy density, ζ/s and η/s, to be made.

INTRODUCTION Multiparticle production experiments are our main source of information on multiparticle production pro- cesses in which the initial kinetic energy of two projectiles is to a large extent converted into a multitude of observed secondaries. This is especially true in the case of heavy ion collisions in which one expects the formation of a new hadronic state of matter, the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) [1]. Such processes call for some form of statisti- cal approach, which is usually based on the Boltzmann- Gibbs (BG) statistics. On the other hand, in the case of a multiparticle production process, conditions lead- ing to BG statistics are satisfied only approximately at best. This is because, among other things, hadronizing
