dc.descriptionWe employ the Boltzmann equation for describing hadron production from a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We propose resonance formation in quark-antiquark scattering as the dominant meson-production channel, which, in particular, ensures that energy is conserved in the recombination process. This, in turn, facilitates a more controlled extension of hadronization to low transverse momenta ($p_T$), and to address the experimentally observed transition from a hydrodynamic regime to constituent quark-number scaling (CQNS). Based on input distributions for strange and charm quarks with azimuthal asymmetries, $v_2(p_T)$, characteristic for RHIC energies, we recover CQNS at sufficiently high $p_T$, while at low $p_T$ a scaling with transverse kinetic energy is found, reminiscent to experiment. The dependence of the transition regime on microscopic QGP properties, i.e. resonance widths and $Q$-values in the $q+\bar q \to M$ process, is elucidated.
