Jacak, B V

Results from the HELIOS External Spectrometer on kaon production in 200 GeV/A S+W and p+W collisions are presented. The K/{pi} ratios are compared with measurements at lower bombarding energies and are found to agree remarkably well. Evidence for secondary production of K{sup +} by meson-baryon rescattering is reviewed. The target rapidity results are compared with neutral strange particle results at midrapidity. 15 refs., 4 figs., 2 tabs.
