Abstract
The Chicago Cyclotron Magnet Spectrometer at Fermi1ab was used to study the production of W (783) and rp (1020) mesons in 225 GeV/c pi--Be interactions via their decays into pi+pi- ratio, the strange quark suppression factor.A was determined to be 0.31 ± 0.05, in good agreement with a world average of about 0.29.
