that we expect the same kind of scaling as for the $s/u$ ratio in [eq. (\[eq:rhoscaling\])]{} for the parameters which determine the extra suppression of diquarks with strange quark content relative to diquarks without strange quarks, and the suppression of spin 1 diquarks relative to spin 0 diquarks. As these parameters go together with others that are not affected by string overlapping in defining the final diquark/quark ratio (called $\xi$), the resulting expression for the mapping becomes $$\label{eq:tildemapping}
 \xi \mapsto \tilde{\xi} = \tilde{\alpha}\beta\left(\frac{\xi}{\alpha\beta}\right)^{1/h}.$$ The parameter $\alpha$ contains the parameters for all different types of diquark content, as mentioned above, and thus maps accordingly. The $\beta$-parameter is the popcorn fluctuation probability which in this work is assumed to be unaffected by changes in string tension. The complete mapping relation is derived in full in [appendix [\[sec:deta-descr-rope\]]{}]{}.

The effect of a modified string tension on the $s/u$ ratio and the net diquark/quark ratio is presented in [figure [\[fig:effpar\]]{}]{}. The range of $h$ chosen in [figure [\[fig:effpar\]]{}]{} is much larger than the range relevant for the $pp$ collisions considered in this work (which generally have $h < 1.5$), but is chosen to show effects for large values of $h$ relevant for heavy ion
