Strangelets with finite entropy

Abstract

Strangelets with non-zero entropy are studied within the MIT bag model. Explicit account is taken of the constraints that strangelets must be color neutral and have a fixed total momentum. In general, masses increase with increasing entropy per baryon, and the constraints work so as to increase masses further. This has an important destabilizing effect on strangelets produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.
