Scientific paper

Two experimental groups working at different minimum energies have reported underground muons coming from the direction of Cygnus X-3 with rates that vary in synchrony with its binary period. The depths involved are such that the muons have energies of the order of 1 TeV for the shallower and several TeV for the deeper detector. Such observations, if verified, would require a new particle or a new physical process. The authors explore their earlier suggestion that the new signal carrier could have a neutral bit of quark matter, condensed and stabilized by strange quarks. They also consider other, more general explanations and conclude that it is exceedingly difficult to find a self-consistent explanation of the observations.
