Abstract

Charged and neutral strange particle production was studied by the NA49 experiment at CERN. Preliminary inclusive spectra are presented for , , , , and particles, measured in a region close to mid-rapidity, for central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon. An enhanced strange particle production relative to properly scaled elementary nucleon-nucleon collisions is observed, but its strength is similar to lighter S + nucleus systems. The enhancement is stronger for multistrange particles.
