The hadronization line in stringy matter

Abstract

Using the equation of state of the string model with linear strings comes close to describing the lattice QCD results and offers an explanation for the E/N = 1 GeV hadronization condition found in phenomenological statistical model. The E/N = 6T relation is derived from the zero pressure condition and is a fairly general result. The baryochemical potential dependence of the hadron gas can be met if it is re-interpreted in the framework of an additive quark model.
