Lambda production in central Pb+Pb collisions at CERN-SPS energies
In this paper we present recent results from the NA49 experiment for
and hyperons produced in central Pb+Pb collisions at
40, 80 and 158 AGeV. Transverse mass spectra and rapidity distributions
for are shown for all three energies. The shape of the rapidity
distribution becomes flatter with increasing beam energy. The multiplicities at
mid-rapidity as well as the total yields are studied as a function of collision
energy including AGS measurements. The ratio at mid-rapidity and
in 4 has a maximum around 40 AGeV. In addition,
rapidity distributions have been measured at 40 and 80 AGeV, which
allows to study the / ratio.Comment: SQM proceedings. J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys.: submitte
