During the analysis of the CR39 Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) of the SLIMexperiment exposed at the high altitude lab of Chacaltaya (Bolivia) we observeda sequence of puzzling etch-pits. We made a detailed investigation of all theCR39 and Makrofol detectors in the same stack and in all the stacks around thecandidate event. We found a second puzzling sequence of etch-pits (plus somesingle etch-pits). The analysis of this configuration was important because wewere searching for rare particles (Magnetic Monopoles, Nuclearites, Q-balls) inthe cosmic radiation. Thus we analyzed in detail the evolution with increasingetching time of the etch-pits. We concluded that the two sequences of theetch-pits (and some other background etch-pits) may have originated from a raremanufacture malfunctioning which involved 1 m^2 of produced CR39.

The treatment and rejection of two "strange" candidate events in the SLIM experiment
