We compare the reconstructed hadronization conditions in relativistic nuclear
collisions in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy range 4.7-2760 GeV in
terms of temperature and baryon-chemical potential with lattice QCD
calculations, by using hadronic multiplicities. We obtain hadronization
temperatures and baryon chemical potentials with a fit to measured
multiplicities by correcting for the effect of post-hadronization rescattering.
The post-hadronization modification factors are calculated by means of a
coupled hydrodynamical-transport model simulation under the same conditions of
approximate isothermal and isochemical decoupling as assumed in the statistical
hadronization model fits to the data. The fit quality is considerably better
than without rescattering corrections, as already found in previous work. The
curvature of the obtained "true" hadronization pseudo-critical line kappa is
found to be 0.0048 +- 0.0026, in agreement with lattice QCD estimates; the
pseudo-critical temperature at vanishing mu_B is found to be 164.3+-1.8 MeV.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures. Minor corrections, version published in PL
