Comment on ``Strangeness enhancement in $p+A$ and S$+A$ interactions at energies near 200 $A$ GeV"

Abstract

We argue that the recent analysis of strangeness production in nuclear collisions at 200 $A$ GeV/$c$ performed by Topor Pop {\it et al.} \cite{To:95} is flawed. The conclusions are based on an erroneous interpretation of the data and the numerical model results. The term ``strangeness enhancement" is used in a misleading way.
