Thermal-FIST (Thermal, Fast and Interactive Statistical Toolkit) is a C++ package designed for a convenient general-purpose physics analysis within the family of hadron resonance gas (HRG) models. This mainly includes the statistical analysis of particle production in heavy-ion collisions and the phenomenology of hadronic equation of state. Notable features include fluctuations and correlations of conserved charges, effects of probabilistic decay, chemical non-equilibrium, and inclusion of van der Waals hadronic interactions. Calculations are possible within the grand canonical ensemble, the canonical ensemble, as well as in mixed-canonical ensembles combining the canonical treatment of certain conserved charges with the grand-canonical treatment of other conserved charges. The package contains a fast thermal event generator, which generates particle yields in accordance with the HRG chemistry, and particle momenta based on the Blast Wave model. A distinct feature of this package is the presence of the graphical user interface frontend -- QtThermalFIST -- which is designed for fast and convenient general-purpose HRG model applications.

  1. QCD critical surface from constant entropy contours

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    First mapping of the QCD critical surface in full (T, μ_B, μ_Q, μ_S) space via constant-entropy expansion gives a critical point at (114, 602) MeV in the pure baryon direction, with μ_B,c shifting 40-100 MeV in strang...

  2. Subensemble Acceptance Method 3.0: General Corrections to Cumulants from Exact Conservation Constraints

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    SAM-3.0 derives canonical cumulants from grand-canonical joint cumulants via a closed recursion with multivariate partial exponential Bell polynomials for arbitrary numbers of conserved charges and observables.

  3. $\Lambda$(1520) as a probe of resonance-driven deuteron formation at the LHC

    hep-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Simulations show a peak in the proxy mass M_(d/2)K only when deuterons form by coalescence of protons from Λ(1520) decays, not in thermal models.

  4. Canonical statistical hadronization with local baryon conservation for higher-order cumulants

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Local baryon conservation in a canonical ensemble drives net-proton κ6/κ2 to small or negative values in restricted acceptance, establishing a baseline that must be subtracted before interpreting signals of chiral cri...

  5. Collision Energy Dependence of Hypertriton Production in Au+Au Collisions at RHIC

    nucl-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Hypertriton yields and Lambda ratios increase at lower collision energies but remain a factor of two below thermal models, while the double ratio to triton production stays constant at 0.4, pointing to intrinsically l...

  6. Disentangling baryon stopping and neutron skin effects in heavy-ion collisions

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Statistical model analysis of isobar collisions extracts a baryon-stopping parameter and introduces an r^OX observable whose central-to-peripheral ratio probes neutron-skin thickness.

  7. Hadronic and partonic composition of QCD matter across the crossover

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    A three-parameter hadron–quark crossover equation of state fitted to lattice QCD data yields a switching temperature T₀ ≃ 216 MeV, implying hadronic degrees of freedom persist well above the chiral pseudocritical temperature.

  8. Constraining the Low-$p_T$ $\eta/\pi^0$ Ratio for Direct-Photon Analyses with Blast-Wave Fits to $\pi$, $K$, and $p$ Spectra

    nucl-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Uses blast-wave fits to pi, K, and p spectra plus measured K/pi to predict low-pT eta/pi0 ratio, finding eta-decay photon uncertainty of order 10% of direct-photon signal at pT~1 GeV/c in central Pb-Pb at 2.76 TeV.
