Production cross sections for channels involving Ξ + particles (20.9 −3.4 +6.1 ) ub, Ξ − particles (2.3 ± 1.0) ub, Ω + particles (an upper limit of ≲ 1 ub), and other strange particle channels, are given. An Ξ + production mechanism is suggested, in terms of a double-Regge exchange model, not involving exotic trajectories. The values of the Ξ + mass (1321.6 ± 0.8) MeV/ c 2 and lifetime (1.55 ± 0.20 0.35 × 10 −10 sec are in good agreement with those of the Ξ − .
