N ov 1 99 5 A search for stable strange quark matter nuggets in helium
A search for stable strange quark nuggets has been conducted in helium and argon using a high sensitivity mass spectrometer. The search was guided by a mass formula for strange quark nuggets which suggested that stable strange helium might exist at a mass around 65 u. The chemical similarity of such “strangelets” to noble gas atoms and the gravitational unboundedness of normal helium result in ...
متن کاملSearch for stable strange quark matter in lunar soil.
We report results from a search for strangelets (small chunks of strange quark matter) in lunar soil using the Yale WNSL accelerator as a mass spectrometer. We have searched over a range in mass from A = 42 to A = 70 amu for nuclear charges 5, 6, 8, 9, and 11. No strangelets were found in the experiment. For strangelets with nuclear charge 8, a concentration in lunar soil higher than 10(-16) is...
متن کاملSearch for Stable Strange Quark Matter in Lunar Soil using the Mass Spectrometry Technique
Strange quark matter is a postulated state which may be the true ground state of cold hadronic matter. Physicists have been searching for strange quark matter in the last several decades but found no definite evidence of its existence. In our experiment, we used the Yale tandem accelerator as a mass spectrometer to identify possible stable strangelets (small chunks of strange quark matter) in l...
متن کاملStrange quark matter attached to string cloud in general scalar tensor theory of gravitation
Bianchi type-VI0 space time with strange quark matter attached to string cloud in Nordtvedt [1] general scalar tensor theory of gravitation with the help of a special case proposed by Schwinger [2] is obtained. The field equations have been solved by using the anisotropy feature of the universe in the Bianchi type-VI0 space time. Some important features of the model, thus obtained, have been di...
متن کاملStrangelets and Strange Quark Matter
As it has been discussed widely during this conference, strangeness opens a new dimensions to nuclear physics. Insofar, systems with strangeness number S = −1,−2 have been discussed. Here we want to examine the unknown domain of finite nuclear systems with S < −2. There have been speculations about the existence of finite systems of strange quark matter (strangelets) and strange hadronic matter...
