Stability of strangelets at finite temperature
Abstract
Using the quark mass density- and temperature-dependent model, we have studied the thermodynamical properties and the stability of strangelets at finite temperature. The temperature, charge, and strangeness dependences on the stability of strangelets are investigated. We find that the stable strangelets only occur in the high strangeness and high negative charge region.
