Strange Particle Abundance in QGP Formed in 200 GeV A Nuclear Collisions

Abstract

We investigate here the relative abundance of strange particles produced in nuclear collisions at the SPS energies (9 GeV A in CM frame) assuming that the central reaction fireball consists of quark-gluon plasma. We show that the total strangeness yield in S-S, S-Ag and S-W reactions is compatible with this picture.
