Abstract
The main purpose of experiment E896 is to study the production of strange hadrons, in particular the predicted six-quark di-baryon, the H0. The placement of the silicon drift detector array (SDDA) close to the target in a 6.2T magnetic field is optimized for the reconstruction of a short lived H0 as well as of strange baryons (Λ, Λ, Ξ-). Simulations show that with the present data sample a detailed study of the Λ and Ξ- yields and distributions may be performed and a clear Λ signal might be detected. Simulations as well as a preliminary analysis of the SDDA data will be presented.
