$\Omega$ and $\bar{\Omega}$ production in central Pb+Pb collisions at 40 and 158 AGeV

Results are presented on $\Omega$ production in central Pb+Pb collisions at 40 and 158A GeV beam energy. Given are transverse-mass spectra, rapidity distributions, and total yields for the sum $\Omega$+$\bar{\Omega}$ at 40 AGeV and for $\Omega$ and $\bar{\Omega}$ separately at 158 AGeV. The yields are strongly under-predicted by the string-hadronic UrQMD model and agree with predictions from a hadron gas model assuming strangeness under-saturation. Results are presented on Omega production in central Pb+Pb collisions at 40 and 158 AGeV beam energy. Given are transverse-mass spectra, rapidity distributions, and total yields for the sum Omega+Antiomega at 40 AGeV and for Omega and Antiomega separately at 158 AGeV. The yields are strongly under-predicted by the string-hadronic UrQMD model and are in better agreement with predictions from a hadron gas models.
