Statistical Hadronization Models (SHMs) have successfully calculated hadronic particle yields to over nine orders of magnitude in high energy collisions of heavy ions and elementary particles at both RHIC and the LHC. Assuming a thermally equilibrated system, experimental final state particle yields from collisions measured by the STAR and ALICE detectors serve as anchors for the determination of common freeze-out parameters – namely, the chemical freeze-out temperature and the baryon chemical potential – in the QCD phase diagram through thermal fits within the SHM framework.
