Abstract

We find the general solution of the Einstein equation for spherically symmetric collapse of Type II fluid (null strange quark fluid) in higher dimensions. It turns out that the nakedness and curvature strength of the shell focusing singularities carry over to higher dimensions. However, there is shrinkage of the initial data space for a naked singularity of the Vaidya collapse due to the presence of strange quark matter.
