Probing quark matter in compact stars with cosmic rays

Jes Madsen

University of Aarhus

Abstract:

I will review the properties of small lumps of quark matter ("strangelets") and the possibility of detecting them in cosmic rays as a result of binary compact star collisions. An ongoing search in lunar soil as well as a coming search from the International Space Station will be described.
