Description
We calculate the expectation of Xi yields in nuclear collisions at SIS energies for the case that the produces strangeness is distributed statistically over S<0 species. By taking into account that cascades are produced only in events where two kaons are produced we obtain theoretical value which is about 1/2 of that reported in previous calculations. Even possible modifications of hadron properties in baryon-rich medium do not reconcile model calculations with the data. We point out the necessity of a non-equilibrium production process in order to interpret the measured values. We note that the developed statistical model is applicable also to other species with strangeness or charm bigger than 1.
