In relativistic nuclear collisions the production of hadrons with light (u,d,s) quarks is quantitatively described in the framework of the Statistical Hadronization Model (SHM). Charm quarks are dominantly produced in initial hard collisions but interact strongly in the hot fireball and thermalize. Therefore charmed hadrons can be incorporated into the SHM by treating charm quarks as 'impurities' with thermal distributions, while the total charm content of the fireball is fixed by the measured open charm cross section. We call this model SHMc and demonstrate that with SHMc the measured multiplicities of single charm hadrons in lead-lead collisions at LHC energies can be well described with the same thermal parameters as for (u,d,s) hadrons. Furthermore, transverse momentum distributions are computed in a blast-wave model, which includes the resonance decay kinematics. SHMc is extended to lighter collision systems down to oxygen-oxygen and includes doubly- and triply-charmed hadrons. We show predictions for production probabilities of such states exhibiting a characteristic and quite spectacular enhancement hierarchy.

  1. Multiplicity dependence of prompt and non-prompt J/$\psi$ production at midrapidity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Self-normalized yields of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ increase stronger than linearly with charged-particle multiplicity in pp collisions at 13 TeV, with stronger effect in the toward azimuthal region.

  2. Heavy quark coalescence probability in the presence of a potential

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Including a phenomenological heavy-light quark potential in the coalescence model enhances the heavy-quark coalescence probability to near unity at low momentum without ad hoc normalization.

  3. $D^0$-$D_s^+$ Elliptic-Flow Splitting under Event-Shape Engineering: A Probe of Sequential Charm Hadronization

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Event-shape engineering via q2 selection in 0-10% and 30-50% Pb-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV is shown to separate geometry-driven flow from hadronization-time effects, producing a positive growing Δv2(D0-Ds+) and species...

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Sequential hadronization predicts v2(D0) > v2(Ds+) from extra partonic flow accumulated by D0 parents between 1.2 Tc and Tc, with universal linear scaling of the hadronic splitting across O-O and Pb-Pb systems.

    nucl-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In Cu+Au collisions, heavy-quark directed flow is an order of magnitude larger than charged-hadron flow and shows strong sensitivity to initial spatial distributions and temperature-dependent drag.

  7. Statistical hadronization: successes and some open issues
