dc.descriptionStrange quark matter in a color-flavor locked state is significantly more bound than ``ordinary'' strange quark matter. This increases the likelihood of strangelet metastability or even absolute stability. Properties of color-flavor locked strangelets are discussed and compared to ordinary strangelets. Apart from differences in binding energy, the main difference is related to the charge. A statistical sample of strangelets may allow experimental distinction of the two. Preliminary estimates indicate that the flux of strangelets in galactic cosmic rays could be sufficient to allow for strangelet discovery and study in the upcoming Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer AMS-02 cosmic ray experiment on the International Space Station.
