Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have measured multiplicity distributions in p+p and p+Pb collisions at a new domain of collision energy. Based on considering an energy-dependent broadening of the nucleon's density…

We show that the simultaneous measurement of yields and fluctuations is capable of falsifying and constraining the statistical hadronization model. We show how such a measurement can test for chemical non-equilibrium, and distinguish…
The parton-to-hadron transition, known as hadronization, is dominated by non-perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) effects and thus challenging to study from first-principle calculations. On the other hand, experimental studies of…

We investigate the impact of non-vanishing net-charge in collision systems on measurements of balance functions and their integrals. We show that the nominal balance function definition yields integrals that deviate from unity because of…
In a hadronic gas with three conserved charges (electric charge, baryon number, and strangeness) we employ the hadron resonance gas model to compute both diagonal and off-diagonal susceptibilities. We model the effect of chemical freeze-out…

We introduce a kinetical description of the hadronization of semi-deconfined quark matter produced in heavy ion collisions. A minimal microscopic model is considered in which the produced quarks and anti-quarks are redistributed into…
