Enhanced production of strange baryons and anti-baryons at central rapidity in S-W and S-z.sbnd;S with respect to p-A reactions has been reported by the CERN experiments WA85 and WA94. The WA97 experiment is extending such a study to Pb Pb collisions making use of the newly developed silicon pixel detectors. Results on Λ, Ξ − and Ω − production in Pb Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/ c at central rapidity are presented. Transverse mass spectra and particle ratios are presented. Hyperon yields are given as a function of the collision centrality and compared with those obtained from p-Pb collisions using the same experimental setup.

Strange and multistrange baryon and antibaryon production has been studied in sulphur sulphur interactions at 200 GeV/ c per nucleon at central rapidity using the CERN Omega Spectrometer. Particle production ratios and transverse mass spectra are presented for Λ, Ξ − , Λ and Ξ − .
