Abstract content <br> &nbsp; (Max 300 words)

Changes in the transverse momentum distributions with beam energy
are studied using the Tsallis distribution as a parameterization.
The dependence of the Tsallis parameters q, T and the volume
are determined as a function of beam energy.
The Tsallis parameter q shows a weak but clear increase with beam energy
with the highest value being approximately 1.15.
The Tsallis temperature and volume are consistent with being independent
of beam energy within experimental uncertainties.
