  The transverse momentum distributions of charged particles in p-Pb collisions
as sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02 TeV measured by the ALICE collaboration are fitted using
Tsallis statistics. The use of a thermodynamically consistent form of this
distribution leads to an excellent description of the transverse momentum
distributions for all rapidity intervals. The values of the Tsallis parameter
q, the temperature T and the radius R of the system do not change within the
measured pseudorapidity intervall.
