Quark-Gluon Plasma, Cosmic-Ray Interactions

Scientific paper

Negative results of experimental searches for heavy penetrating particles at mountain tops impose strong constraints on the model of Panagiotou, Petridis, and Vassiliou for the production of Centauro-type cosmic-ray events by way of nucleus-nucleus interactions in the upper atmosphere. The quark-matter fireball postulated to produce Centauros must have bizarre properties-an interaction mean free path of ~200 g cm-2 and a proper lifetime of ~10-7 s for an object with A~=50.
