RHIC hadron-production / thermodynamic particle-yield measurements — measured particle abundances at RHIC that agree with simple statistical-hadronization (thermodynamic) models, used to bound strangelet production rates in heavy-ion collisions and, by extension, at the LHC. known_biases: if the thermodynamic model mis-describes rare/exotic-object production (strangelets are not thermally produced), the derived production bound is inapplicable — a shared failure mode for every strangelet-safety claim leaning on it.
