A measurement of direct photon production in 208 Pb+ 208 Pb collisions at 1 5 8 A GeV has
been carried out in the CERN WA98 experiment. The invariant yield of direct photons in …

Results are presented on hyperon and antihyperon production in Pb–Pb, pPb and pBe
collisions at 158 GeV/c per nucleon. Λ, Ξ and Ω yields have been measured at central rapidity …

The scintillation characteristics of pure and Tl-doped CsI were investigated. The scintillation
light was detected with photomultipliers and silicon photodiodes. The influence of the Tl …

A measurement of strange baryon and antibaryon production in Pb–Pb collisions has been
carried out by the NA57 experiment at the CERN SPS, with 40 and 158 AGeV/c beam …

This paper reviews the experimental and theoretical studies of breakup processes induced
by He projectiles. For this type of reaction knowledge of three-body kinematics is imperative; …

Results are presented on the production of K 0 S, hyperons and antihyperons in Pb–Pb and
p–Be interactions at 40 GeV/c per nucleon. The enhancement pattern follows the same …

Several hadronic observables have been studied in central 1 5 8 A GeV Pb+ Pb collisions
using data measured by the WA98 experiment at CERN: single π− and K− production, as well …

The restoration of chiral symmetry and its subsequent breaking through a phase transition
has been predicted to create regions of Disoriented Chiral Condensates (DCC). This …

The production of neutral pions in 1 5 8 A GeV 208 Pb+ 208 Pb collisions has been studied
in the WA98 experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). Transverse …

The help and advice of A. Denisov and S. White in the design of the V0A is gratefully
acknowledged. The Forward Detector projects would like to give special thanks to Y. Foka for her …
