A study of 1.66 GeV/c K- beam induced (K-,K+) reactions in the nuclear emulsion target is presented and 796 (K-, K+) reaction vertices (p(K+) greater than or equal to 1 GeV/c) containing 18 single hyperfragments are identified. There is no clear(spatially separated) double hyperfragment nor twin single hyperfragment in the identified 796 (K-,K+) reactions. These events are classified and their characteristics are described in detail. In the region p(K+)greater than or equal to 1 GeV/c where the quasifree K-(p) --> K(+)Xi(-) is the dominant process, the probability of Xi(-) emission from the reaction vertex is determined to be 73.9(-4.6)(+4.5)%. From this value, the mean free path of Xi(-) in a nucleus is estimated to be 4.7(-1.0)(+1.5) fm for [p(Xi-)] similar to 0.6 GeV/c by assuming a simple model of uniform nuclear matter.
