It is possible that strange quark matter with roughly equal numbers of up, down and strange quarks exists and that it is absolutely stable. If this is the case, strange quark matter could be the true ground state of the strong interaction(E. Witten, Phys. Rev. D 30), 272, 1984. Theoretical calculations of the properties of bulk strange matter do not allow a firm conclusion as to whether strange matter is actually stable. Thus, existence of stable strange quark matter can only be probed through sensitive experiments. Farhi and Jaffe(E. Farhi and R. L. Jaffe, Phys Rev. D 32), 2452, 1985 proposed a technique by which one can identify strange matter via heavy ion activation. We will present the results of an experiment performed at LBNL's 88-Inch Cyclotron using GAMMASPHERE applying this technique to samples of meteorites and moon soil.
