The production rate and fragmentation function are presented. A total of per hadronic Z^0 decay is observed. The fragmentation function is found to be softer than that predicted by the JETSET and HERWIG Monte Carlo event generators. With this measurement of Δ^(++) production, at least one baryon of each strangeness level in the lightest baryon decuplet has now been measured at LEP.This article is published by Elsevier under a Creative Commons Attribution License and available electronically from http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/037026939500935E.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Article10.1016/0370-2693(95)00935-EopenAccess
