Abstract

Fixed-target experiments with relativistic heavy-ion collisions at BNL and CERN search for small metastable drops of strange matter, $S$ drops. A useful conjectured mass formula for $S$ drops is presented here. This mass formula can easily be fitted to the experimental results. The results of an experiment at BNL are used to constrain the parameters.
