The many faces of strange matter: compact stars, cosmic rays, and dark matter
Abstract
The state of cold bulk matter at around nuclear density depends on the fundamental strong interaction between quarks at low-energy scale, so-called non-perturbative quantum chromo-dynamics. Such kind of matter is conjectured to be condensed matter of 3-flavour (u, d and s) quark clusters in this note, being manifested in the form of compact stars, cosmic rays, and even dark matter.
