Abstract A phenomenological method is proposed to select possible Quark matter forming events in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus interactions. We compare the released photonic and hadronic energies from a Quark matter forming event and from a normal Hadronic event and derive a relation, which may be used in an event-by-event analysis to differentiate the two phases. We determine thus two regions of QCD deconfinement. We also discuss the hadronic, photonic energy and multiplicity contents and the 〈PT〉 of several exotic cosmic ray events at ultra high energies. On the basis of the phenomenological model, we suggest that the “Centauro” type are Quark matter events near the projectile fragmentation region with very large baryochemical potential,μ b. The “Anti-Centauro” type events are created by vacuum excitation in the central region with near zeroμ b.
