The energy loss in ordinary matter of two classes of "exotic" particles:
weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) and strangelets, most probably
produced in different early stages of evolution of the Universe, is analysed.
For the direct detection of WIMPs the signals produced by the stopping in
matter of recoils are used for their identification. The influence of the
orientation of the recoil in respect to crystal axes for crystalline detectors
(silicon) is analysed. The strangelets are considered to pick-up neutrons
during their penetration into matter, and their stopping is modelled taking
also into account the effect of the mass increase.
