Lambda polarization in unpolarized hadron reactions


الملخص بالإنكليزية

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