These are exactly the preconditions the strangeness-distillation strangelet-production mechanism requires (long-lived, baryon-rich plasma cooling by surface evaporation with s/s-bar separation): each is empirically contradicted. The paper notes the distillation proposal has consequently been abandoned for the LHC. Also relevant: no evidence for any anomalous coalescence mechanism was found; measured light-nuclei rates in central Au+Au match the coalescence rates used by the 2003 LHC safety report.
