Abstract
We recently introduced a completely new way to study ultrarelativistic nuclear scattering by providing a link between the string model appro ach and a statistical description. A key issue is the microcanonical t reatment of hadronizing individual quark matter droplets. In this pape r we describe in detail the hadronization of these droplets according to n-body phase space, by using methods of statistical physics, i.e., constructing Markov chains of hadron configurations.
