Propagation of Strange Quark Matter in the Atmosphere

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-02-23 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We propose model of propagation of lumps of Strange Quark Matter (strangelets) through the atmosphere, which accounts for their apparent strong penetrability and normal nuclear-type sizes at the same time. The mass spectrum of strangelets reaching the Earth predicted by this model agrees very well with the existing data on the abundance of different elemets in the Universe.
