Abstract
The stability of strange quark matter in the presence of a strong magn etic field is investigated, using a dynamical, density dependent, quar k mass approach to confinement. Changes in both the single particle an d bulk energies of a system which are due to the strong magnetic field are also calculated. It is shown that the presence of a magnetic fiel d makes strange quark matter energetically more stable.
