Enhanced production of ΛΛ pairs, above the prediction of a two-step process model, is observed near threshold (around the masses of 2.23 – 2.26 GeV/c 2 ) in the 12 C(K − ,K + ) reaction at P K − = 1.66GeV/c using a scintillating fiber target. The differential cross section for the ΛΛ production averaged over 2.3° ≤ $$ K + ≤ 14.7° in the momentum region 0.95 ≤ p K + ≤ 1.3GeV/c was found to be 7.6 ± 1.3 μb/sr, and that for the enhancement approximately 3 μb/sr.
