Thermal-FIST: A package for heavy-ion collisions and hadronic equation of state

Understand

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.
