Description
Published measurements of semi-inclusive Λ production in p-Au collisions at the AGS are used to estimate the yields of singly strange hadrons in nucleus-nucleus (A-A) collisions. Results of a described extrapolation technique are shown and compared to measurements of K+ production in Si-Al, Si-Au, and Au-Au collisions at the AGS and net Λ production in S-S, S-Ag, Pb-Pb, and inclusive p-A collisions at the SPS. The extrapolations can account for more than 75% of the measured strange particle yields in all of the studied systems except for very central Au + Au collisions at the AGS where RQMD comparisons suggest large re-scattering contributions
