Polarization in Inclusive $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ Production at Large $p_T$

Lundberg, B. ; Handler, R. ; Pondrom, L. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 40 (1989) 3557-3567, 1989.
Inspire Record 287809 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.23077

A study of the inclusive polarization of Λ hyperons produced by 400-GeV/c protons incident on nuclear targets has been performed at Fermilab. The polarization P of the Λ has been mapped over a large range of xF and pT to good precision for pT up to 3.8 GeV/c. The magnitude of the polarization at fixed xF rises with pT to a plateau at about 1 GeV/c, and the size of the plateau increases monotonically with xF. The Λ¯ were found to be unpolarized for pT<2.4 GeV/c. A target-nucleus dependence for the Λ polarization has been observed.

Polarization of Sigma0 hyperons in inclusive production from 28.5-GeV/c protons on beryllium

Dukes, E.C. ; Overseth, O.E. ; Bunce, G.M. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 193 (1987) 135-139, 1987.
Inspire Record 249257 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30125

The polarization of Σ 0 hyperons produced in an inclusive reactons hasbeen measured for the first time. From a sample of 11 000 events produced by 28.5 GeV/ c ptorons in the reaction p+ Be → Σ 0 +X, the Σ 0 polarization has a value of +0.28±0.13 at p t =1.01 GeV/ c and x f =0.60. The polarization of 53 000 Λ hyperons produced from 28.5 Gev/ c protons inthe reaction p+Be→ Λ +X has been measured in the kinematic range 0.64< p t <1.14 GeV/ c and 0.42< x f <0.62. The average Λ polarization is found to be −0.188±0.024, consistent with previous results.

Polarization of $\Sigma^+$ Hyperons Produced by 400 GeV Protons

Wilkinson, C. ; Handler, R. ; Lundberg, B. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 46 (1981) 803-806, 1981.
Inspire Record 169869 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20646

The polarization of 26 000 Σ+ hyperons produced by 400-GeV protons on Be has been measured. The polarizations of Σ+ and Λ hyperons have the opposite sign. The magnitude increases with momentum at 5-mrad production angle, and averages 22% over the momentum range 140 to 280 GeV/c.
