We investigate the thermodynamic properties of strange quark matter under the strong magnetic field in the framework of the MIT bag model in two cases of bag constants. We consider two cases of the magnetic field, the uniform magnetic field…
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…

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) and strangelets are two classes of "exotic" particles not yet discovered, and in agreement with theoretical scenarios most probably produced in different early stages of evolution of the…
