Description
Nuclearites are lumps of strange quarks matter, the matter which may be the ground state of our universe. According to the theory, nuclearites may exist in cosmic rays reaching the Earth and so, they may hit the ANTARES detector or its alternatives. Their energy loss in atmosphere and water should help us to detect them at deep sea. Based on their number of photons emitted, nuclearites with masses >=6*10^(12) GeV should emit sufficient light to be detected at the ANTARES depth.
