Abstract
We present the results of LAMBDA and K(s)0 production from a Si target with a 14.6 x A GeV/c Si beam. The measured rapidity distribution and transverse mass exponential slopes are presented and compared with mo dels. We also present a measurement of XI- production from a Pb target with the same beam. The rapidity distribution is measured along with a model comparison. Finally we have searched for strangelets which dec ay in our TPC volume. From a Monte Carlo study with a plasma productio n model, we have established a upper limit on a given strangelet produ ction cross section.
