- Description
- We argue that the Centauro events found in cosmic rays by the brazilian-japanese collaboration could be the manifestation of an unusual phase transition in which a new ordered phase of quarks separated from antiquarks takes place at extremely high densities. This new phase should then be followed by yet another disordered phase which might correspond to freeing the quark components.
