Description
Recent advances in the study of the QCD phase transition, using lattice
QCD, have revealed a potential flavor dependent hadronization sequence of
the deconfined matter as a function of the temperature of the system. This
is of particular interest for the strange quark sector since the strange
quarks are likely to be in thermal equilibrium with the light quarks.
Lattice QCD results on quark number susceptibilities will be presented,
together with recent LHC measurements from the ALICE experiment which seem
to corroborate this scenario.
