RECENT RESULTS FROM EXPERIMENT 859 AT THE BNL AGS

This paper presents recent results from Experiment 859 at the BNL AGS, focussing on strangeness (K-+/-, Lambda, <(Lambda)over bar>), rare pr obes ((p) over bar, phi) and two-particle correlations. Highlights of the paper include an analysis of the centrality dependence of K-+/- yi elds in terms of the number of participants, a brief review of the cur rent status of the E859 Lambda and <(Lambda)over bar> data, an analysi s of the target dependence of (p) over bar yields in terms of (p) over bar/K- ratio's, results of a re-analysis of ii feed-down contaminatio n of (p) over bar's, a comparison of the central Si-Au and p-p phi yie lds through the phi/K- ratio, an extremely preliminary study of the ce ntrality dependence of the phi line-shape, a summary of the centrality dependence of two-pi correlation source sizes, and a comparison of re sults from two-dimensional analyses of the two-pi and two-K+ correlati on functions.
