STRANGE QUARK MATTER IN STRONG MAGNETIC-FIELD

Using conventional MIT bag model of confinement, the stability of bulk strange quark matter (SQM) in the presence of a strong magnetic field at zero temperature and zero pressure has been investigated. The bind ing energy of SQM increases in the presence of strong magnetic field g reater than or of the order of some critical value at which the cyclot ron lines begin to occur. At finite temperature the pressure dependenc e of the system has also been presented, which differs significantly f rom zero magnetic field case.
