Emission of droplets of strange quark matter in RHIC

Abstract

We demonstrate that strangeness separates in the quark-hadron coexistence (even at T=0) and prompt kaon emission results in a strong enhancement of the s-quark abundance in the quark phase during the phase transition to hadron matter. Condensation into stabilized droplets of strange quark matter (“strangelets”) does occur during the phase transition. The so formed cool, compact, long-lived clusters could be experimentally observed by their small Z/A-ratio. If the late quark matter phase is unstable, it should be observable by the delayed, correlated emission of several hyperons.

Presented at the 6th International Conference on Ultra-Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions — Quark Matter 1987, 24–28 August 1987, Nordkirchen, Federal Republic of Germany
