Abstract
WA97 is designed to study strange and multi-strange baryon and anti-ba ryon production in 160 A GeV/c Ph-Ph collisions at the SPS with a tele scope of silicon microdetectors. Four planes of silicon pixel detector s were successfully employed during the 1994 Pb run. A total of 60M ce ntral Pb-Pb events were collected. We describe the experimental setup and report on some preliminary results from the off-line analysis.
