In this paper we present the results of a search for nuclearites in the penetrating cosmic radiation using the scintillator and track-etch subdetectors of the MACRO apparatus.

Abstract
In this paper we present the results of a search for nuclearites in the penetrating cosmic radiation using the scintillator and track-etch subdetectors of the MACRO apparatus. The analyses cover the = v=c range at the detector depth (3700 hg=cm2) 10−5 < < 1; for = 2 10−3 the flux limit is 2:7 10−16 cm−2s−1sr−1 for an isotropic flux of nuclearites, and twice this value for a flux of downgoing nuclearites.File in questo prodotto:
