The local physical properties of an isolated quantum statistical system in the stationary state reached long after a quench are generically described by the Gibbs ensemble, which involves only its Hamiltonian and the temperature as a parameter. Additional quantities conserved by the dynamics intervene in the description of the stationary state, if the system is instead integrable. The resulting generalized Gibbs ensemble involves a number of temperature-like parameters, the determination of which is practically difficult. We argue that in a number of simple models these parameters can be effectively determined by using fluctuation-dissipation relationships between response and correlation functions of natural observables, quantities which are accessible in experiments.
