Scientific paper

The results of a search for supermassive nuclei of strange matter ('strange nuggets') by using Rutherford backscattering of heavy ions are reported. The method is sensitive to a broad range of masses extending to those that exceed the projectile mass by several orders of magnitude. Upper limits for the abundance of strange nuggets with masses 400 to 70 million AMU relative to the number of nucleons are found to be in the range 10 to the -10th to 10 to the -14th.
