Abstract
The subset of 3 Gamma events from the full data sample from the LGD is analysed. The dependence of the number of Phi and Omega on the minimum total deposited energy is examined. The number of observed Phi is larger than expected from the Gamma p -> Phi p cross section. The ratio Omega/Phi is approximately 3 times lower than expected from the cross section and branching ratios. While the mass of the Omega is close to its value the Phi mass is shifted down by approximately 70 Mev/c^2, requiring further study of the LGD.
