At the Brookhaven AGS several experiments are searching for the unique strangeness S = −2 H-dibaryon with the quark composition (uuddss). The E813/E836 collaboration, in particular, is using a high-intensity, separated 1.8 GeV/c K − beam and two different target configurations. In E836 the reaction K − + 3He→K + + H + n is used to search for a relatively deeply-bound H. Complementary to E836 the reactions K − + p → Ξ − + K +, followed by (Ξ −, d)atom → H + n are used to search near twice the A mass. The status of these two experiments is summarized, and other H-dibaryon searches are briefly reviewed.
