An emulsion-counter hybrid experiment (KEK E176) was carried out to search for double strangeness systems such as double-{lambda} hypernuclei and H-dibaryons. More than 10% of {xi}{sup -} hyperons produced in the (K{sup -}, K{sup +}) reaction were brought to rest in the nuclear emulsion. We have obtained 98 candidate events of nuclear capture at rest of {xi}{sup -} hyperons which are described in this report. Among those, four events were identified as sequential weak decay of double-{lambda} hypernuclei. The binding energies of {xi}{sup -}-({sup 12}C, {sup 14}N and {sup 16}O) states have been estimated for two events which emit twin single-{lambda} hypernuclei back to back from the capture point. The {sigma}{sup -}p decay vertex of an H-dibaryon was searched for near the capture point and no evidence was observed. Upper limits for the branching ratio of H emission are 5-10% for a lifetime less than 0.1 ns at the 90% confidence level. The trapping probabilities of single and double strangeness to a nuclear fragment following {xi}{sup -} capture at rest have been studied.
