Abstract
The WA94 experiment is designed to study the production of strange and multistrange baryons and antibaryons at central rapidity in sulphur-s ulphur interactions at 200 GeV/c per nucleon. Particle production rati os have been obtained in the kinematic region 1.2 less than or equal t o p(T) less than or equal to 3.0 GeV/c and 2.5 less than or equal to y (lab) less than or equal to 3.0, and m(T) spectra for Lambda, <(Lambda )over bar>, Xi(-) and <(Xi)over bar>(-) particles are presented. Preli minary results on charged kaon production are also discussed, together with the: status of charged particle identification using the Omega R ICH.
