摘要：

We report measurements of Xi(-) and (Xi)over-bar(+) hyperon absolute yields as a function of rapidity in 158 GeV/c Ph + Pb collisions. At midrapidity, dN/dy = 2.29 +/- 0 12 for Xi(-), and 0.52 +/- 0.05 for (Xi)over-bar(+), leading to the ratio of (Xi)over-bar(+)/Xi(-) = 0.23 +/- 0.03. Inverse slope parameters fitted to the measured transverse mass spectra are of the order of T approximate to 300 MeV near mid-rapidity. The estimated total yield of Xi(-) particles in Pb+ Pb central interactions amounts to 7.4 +/- 1.0 per collision. Comparison to Xi(-) production in properly scaled p + p reactions at the same energy reveals a dramatic enhancement (about one order of magnitude) of Xi(-) production in Pb + Pb central collisions over elementary hadron interactions.
