Abstract
Predicted as possible bound states of up, down and strange quarks, strangelets could be more energetically favourable and more stable than nuclear matter. In this paper we explore the possibility of detecting such particles with the future large liquid argon detectors developed for neutrino physics. Using signals from ionization and scintillations we suggest that a calorimetric TCP detector is able to put in evidence and to discriminate between light strangelets at intermediate energy.
