Λ POLARIZATION IN UNPOLARIZED HADRON REACTIONS

Creators

Description

The transverse polarization observed in the inclusive production of Λ hyperons in the high energy collisions of unpolarized hadrons is tackled by considering a new set of spin and κperpendicular dependent quark fragmentation functions. Simple phenomenological expressions for these new ''polarizing fragmentation functions'' are obtained by a fit of the data on Λ's and bar Λ's produced in p - N processes
