Description

Can nucleus consists only of nonstrange nucleons (strangeness quantum number S = 0)? Recent theoretical investigations suggest that in addition to known hypernuclei with S = -1, -2, there is existing possibility to produce multi-strange nuclear systems with S≤-3, which may be conventional bound systems made up of A baryons (nucleons and hyperons) or more deeply bound many-body systems consisting of 3A quarks (u,d,s quarks) which are confined in a 'bag'. These systems are underway or planned experimentally
