Strangelets in Terrestrial Atmosphere
A new dynamical model for the propagation of strangelets through the terrestrial atmosphere is proposed. Strangelets are small lumps of strange quark matter (SQM) which consist of roughly equal numbers of up, down and strange quarks. Since the suggestion of Witten[1]in 1984 that these strangelets, and not ordinary nuclear matter, represent the true ground state of QCD, this area of research has...
متن کاملPropagation of strangelets in the Earth’s atmosphere
A new model for the description of strangelets’ behavior in the Earth’s atmosphere is presented. Strangelet fission induced by colliding with air nuclei is included. It is shown that strangelets with certain parameters of initial mass and energy may reach depths near the sea level, which can be examined by ground-based experiments.

متن کاملCosmic-ray strangelets in the Earth’s atmosphere
If strange quark matter is stable in small lumps, we expect to find such lumps, called “strangelets”, on Earth due to a steady flux in cosmic rays. Based on recent model predictions for this flux, we find that strangelets corresponding to gaseous elements (noble gases, N, and O) accumulate in the atmosphere at high concentration. Metallic and semimetallic strangelets accumulate in suprisingly h...
متن کاملSulphur cycling between terrestrial agroecosystem and atmosphere.
Central gas station of the natural gas borehole system Podravina is located near the village Molve. It delivers more than a quarter of total energy used in Croatia to its consumers. Over the years, adapting technology to increasingly demanding and rigorous standards in environmental protection has become paramount. Yet, despite all the industry has undertaken to address the risk of harmful subs...
متن کاملSolar forcing of the terrestrial atmosphere
The Sun provides the main energy input to the terrestrial atmosphere, and yet the impact of solar variability on long-term changes remains a controversial issue. Direct radiative forcing is the most studied mechanism. Other much weaker mechanisms, however, can have a significant leverage, but the underlying physics is often poorly known. We review the main mechanisms by which solar variability ...
