Abstract

The NA52 experiment searched for long-lived charged strangelets in 158 A GeV/c Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS. We collected 10¹³ Pb+Pb interactions looking for negatively charged strangelets and 3 × 10 ¹¹ Pb+Pb interactions for positively charged ones. No evidence for the production of strangelets has been observed. The upper strangelet production limits are discussed. Besides the strangelet searches NA52 was able to identify particles and anti-particles over a wide range in rapidity. Results of the invariant differential particle production cross sections including fragments up to carbon and 5 ³̄He are presented.
