Strange quark matter

OSTI ID:10160751
We investigate the properties of multi-strange baryonic systems, comparing conventional many -- {Lambda} hypernuclei, where the strange quarks are localized in individual hyperons, to ``strangelets`` or chunks of strange matter, which involves delocalized quarks which roam in a single large bag. Mass formulae and strong/weak decay modes for such objects are discussed, as well as the prospects for producing multi-strange systems in relativistic heavy ion collisions. For production, we consider two extremes, one based on the coalescence model and another which assumes the formation of quark-gluon-plasma. We mention the experimental searches which are underway or planned, using heavy ion beams.
