Abstract
We report first results on a deep sub-threshold production of the doubly strange hyperon in a heavy-ion reaction. At a beam energy of 1.76A GeV the reaction Ar+KCl was studied with the High Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer (HADES) at SIS18/GSI. A high-statistics and high-purity sample was collected, allowing for the investigation of the decay channel . The deduced production ratio of is significantly larger than available model predictions.
