E. Andersen et al., ENHANCEMENT OF CENTRAL DELTA-YIELDS, XI-YIELDS AND OMEGA-YIELDS IN PB-PB COLLISIONS AT 158 A-GEV C/, Physics letters. Section B, 433(1-2), 1998, pp. 209-216
Lambda, Xi and Omega yields and transverse mass spectra have been meas
ured in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c. The yields in Pb-Pb
interactions are presented as a function of the collision centrality a
nd compared with those obtained from p-Pb collisions. Strangeness enha
ncement is observed which increases with centrality and with the stran
geness content of the hyperon. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science
