  "abstract": "We present the first measurement of the atomic mass dependence of central \\Xi^- and \\overline{\\Xi}^+ production. It is measured using a sample of 22,459 \\Xi^-'s and \\overline{\\Xi}^+'s produced in collisions between a 250 GeV \\pi^- beam and targets of beryllium, aluminum, copper, and tungsten. The relative cross sections are fit to the two parameter function \\sigma_0 A^\\alpha, where A is the atomic mass. We measure \\alpha = 0.924+-0.020+-0.025, for Feynman-x in the range -0.09 < x_F < 0.15.",
