Creation of Strange Matter at Low Initialμ/T

Abstract
We demonstrate that the creation of strange matter is conceivable in the midrapidity region of heavy ion collisions at Brookhaven RHIC and CERN LHC. A finite net-baryon density, abundant (anti)strangeness production, as well as strong net-baryon and net-strangeness fluctuations, provide suitable initial conditions for the formation of strangelets or metastable exotic multistrange (baryonic) objects. Even at very high initial entropy per baryon S/Ainit500 and low initial baryon numbers of ABinit30 a quark-gluon-plasma droplet can immediately charge up with strangeness and accumulate net-baryon number.
