Search for nuclearites with the SLIM detector
We discuss the properties of cosmic ray nuclearites, from the point of view
of their search with large nuclear track detector arrays exposed at different
altitudes, in particular with the SLIM experiment at the Chacaltaya high
altitude lab (5290 m a.s.l.). We present calculations concerning their
propagation in the Earth atmosphere and discuss their possible detection with
CR39 and Makrofol nuclear track detectors.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
