MCSTHAR++, a Monte Carlo code for the microcanonical hadronization

Abstract

MCSTHAR++ is a new Monte Carlo code implementing the Statistical Hadronization Model. This model assumes that hadronization proceeds through the microcanonical decay of massive extended clusters. Unlike other hadronization models, in this approach very few free parameters are needed, as has been demonstrated in previous studies. The tuning of the model and the comparison with the data is ongoing.
