Hadronization in Heavy-Ion Reactions

We present a model of fast hadronization of constituent quark matter in rela- tivistic heavy ion collisions based on rate equations and capture cross sections in non-relativistic potential. We utilize a thermodynamically consistent approach with a non-ideal equation of state including correlation terms based on string phe-nomenology. We investigate strange and non-strange particle ratios observed in CERN SPS experiments.
