Description
The NA52 experiment searches for long-lived charged strangelets in 158 A GeV c-1 Pb + Pb collisions at CERN SPS. The experiment is able to identify single particles coming from the collisions at pt = 0. We collected 1013 Pb + Pb interactions looking for negatively charged strangelets and 3x1011 Pb + Pb interactions for positively charged ones. No evidence for the production of strangelets has been observed. We present here resulting experimental differential and total upper production limits. (author)
