Description
The NA52 experiment searches for long-lived massive strange quark matter particles, so-called strangelets, produced in Pb-Pb collisions at a beam momentum of plab=158 AGeV/c. Upper limits for the production of strangelets at zero degree production angle covering a mass to charge ratio up to 120 GeV/c2 and lifetimes tlab approx-gt 1.2 μs are given. The data presented here were taken during the 1994 lead beam running period at CERN. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
