Strangeness production in proton induced reactions is only sparsely known in the threshold energy range, especially for higher lying hyperon resonances. The reaction p+C was investigated at a bombarding energy of 3.5 GeV with the FOPI detector at the SIS18 accelerator of GSI. Employing a correlation analysis of Λ−π-pairs, we show the experimental results obtained for the reconstruction of the Σ*(1385)+− resonance. Our results provide a lower limit of the absolute cross section and give a first indication of the phase space distribution of the produced resonance. The Σ*(1385)/Λ ratio will be shown as well. The reconstruction and quantitative control of the background in the Λ−π-decay channel, is considered a reference point for the planned investigations of the Λ−p system that will address the question of the existence of di-baryonic strange resonances.
