Strangelets in cosmic rays

Abstract
Recently new data from the Cosmo-LEP project appeared, this time from DELPHI detector. They essentially confirm the findings reported some time ago by ALEPH, namely the appearence of bundles of muons with unexpectedly high multiplicities, which so far cannot be accounted by present day models. We argue, using arguments presented by us some time ago, that this phenomenon could be regarded as one more candidate for the presence in the flux of cosmic rays entering the Earth's atmosphere from outer space nuggets od Strange Quark Matter (SQM) in form of so called strangelets.
