Abstract

We present the results of Λ and K05 production from a Si target with a 14.6 × A GeVc Si beam. The measured rapidity distribution and transverse mass exponential slopes are presented and compared with models. We also present a measurement of Ξ 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 decay in our TPC volume. From a Monte Carlo study with a plasma production model, we have established a upper limit on a given strangelet production cross section.
