Search for Stable Strange Quark Matter in Lunar Soil

Search 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 experimen...
