If strange quark matter is formed in core-collapse supernovae shortly after the bounce, it causes the launch of a second outgoing shock which is energetic enough to lead to a explosion. A signal for the formation of strange quark matter can be read off from the neutrino spectrum, as a second peak in antineutrinos is released when the second shock runs over the neutrinosphere.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-03-12T15:04:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "strange quark matter", "strange prospects", "strong first order qcd phase", "first order qcd phase transition", "core-collapse supernovae" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics G Nuclear Physics", "year": 2009, "month": "Jun", "volume": 36, "number": 6, "pages": "064009" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 813153, "adsabs": "2009JPhG...36f4009S" } } }
