Description

Preliminary inclusive spectra for K+, K-, Ks0, Λ, and Λ-bar are presented which were measured in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon by the NA49 experiment. A comparison with data from lighter collision systems shows a strong change of the shape of the Λ rapidity distribution. The strangeness enhancement observed in S+S compared to p+p and p+A is not further increased in Pb+Pb. (author)
