Abstract

In an extended mean field theory, we find a large class of bound multistrange objects, formed from combinations of {p,n,Λ,Ξ0,Ξ-} baryons, which are stable against strong decay. We predict a maximal binding energy per baryon of EB/A-21 MeV, strangeness per baryon fs1.2, charge per baryon fq-0.1 to 0, and baryon density 2.5-3 times that of ordinary nuclei. For A6, we obtain stable combinations involving only {Λ,Ξ0,Ξ-} hyperons.
