Measurements of the longitudinal spin transfer, $D_{LL}$, and the transverse spin transfer, $D_{TT}$, of the $Lambda(bar{Lambda}$) hyperon in polarized $p$+$p$ collisions are expected to be sensitive to the helicity distribution and transversity distribution of the $s(bar{s})$ quark in proton and the corresponding polarized fragmentation functions. This contribution presents the new preliminary results of the $Lambda(bar{Lambda}$) $D_{LL}$ and $D_{TT}$ using data collected at RHIC-STAR experiment in 2015, with twice larger statistics than previously published results.

We report our measurement on longitudinal spin transfer, D_LL, from high energy polarized protons to $Lambda$ and $bar{Lambda}$ hyperons in proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s} = 200 GeV$ with the STAR detector at RHIC. The current measurements cover $Lambda$, $barLambda$ pseudorapidity $|eta| < 1.2$ and transverse momenta $p_T$ up to $4GeV/c$ using the data taken in 2005. The longitudinal spin transfer is found to be D_LL= -0.03pm 0.13 (stat) pm 0.04(syst)$ for inclusive $Lambda$ and $D_{LL} = -0.12 pm 0.08(stat) pm 0.03(syst)$ for inclusive $bar{Lambda}$ hyperons with $<eta> = 0.5$ and $<p_T> = 3.7 GeV/c$. The prospects with 2009 data and the future measurements are also given.
The transverse spin transfer from polarized protons to $Lambda$ and $bar{Lambda}$ hyperons is expected to provide sensitivity to the transversity distribution of the nucleon and to the transversely polarized fragmentation functions. We report the fir st measurement of the transverse spin transfer to $Lambda$ and $bar{Lambda}$ along the polarization direction of the fragmenting quark, $D_mathrm{TT}$, in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s}=200,mathrm{GeV}$ with the STAR detector at RHIC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of $18,mathrm{pb}^{-1}$ and cover the pseudorapidity range $left|etaright| < 1.2$ and transverse momenta $p_{mathrm{T}}$ up to $8,mathrm{GeV}/c$. The dependence on $p_mathrm{T}$ and $eta$ are presented. The $D_mathrm{TT}$ results are found to be comparable with a model prediction, and are also consistent with zero within uncertainties.

The longitudinal or transverse spin transfer to Lambda and anti-Lambda hyperons in polarized proton-proton collisions is expected to be sensitive to the helicity or transversity distributions of strange and anti-strange quarks of the proton, and to t he corresponding polarized fragmentation function. We report the first measurement of the transverse spin transfer to $Lambda$ and $bar Lambda$ along the polarization direction of the fragmenting quark, $D_{TT}$, in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at 200 GeV with the STAR experiment at RHIC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 18 pb$^{-1}$, and cover a kinematic range of |$eta$|< 1.2 and transverse momentum $p_T$ up to 8 GeV/c. We also report an improved measurement of the longitudinal spin transfer $D_{LL}$ to $Lambda$ and $bar Lambda$ with $p_T$ up to 6 GeV/c, using data with about twelve times larger figure-of-merit than the previously published STAR results. The prospects of hyperon polarization measurements in the forward pseudo-rapidity region (2.5<$eta$<4) in p+p collision in the year of 2021 and beyond will also be discussed, which is based on the STAR forward detector upgrade plan including a forward tracking system and a forward calorimeter system.
The longitudinal spin transfer $D_{LL}$ to $Lambda$ and $bar{Lambda}$ hyperons produced in high-energy polarized proton--proton collisions is expected to be sensitive to the helicity distribution functions of strange quarks and anti-quarks of the pro ton, and to longitudinally polarized fragmentation functions. We report an improved measurement of $D_{LL}$ from data obtained at a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV with the STAR detector at RHIC. The data have an approximately twelve times larger figure-of-merit than prior results and cover $|eta|<$ 1.2 in pseudo-rapidity with transverse momenta $p_T$ up to 6 GeV/c. In the forward scattering hemisphere at largest $p_T$, the longitudinal spin transfer is found to be $D_{LL}$ = -0.036 $pm$ 0.048 (stat) $pm$ 0.013(sys) for $Lambda$ hyperons and $D_{LL}$ = 0.032 $pm$ 0.043,(stat) $pm$ 0.013,(sys) for $bar{Lambda}$ anti-hyperons. The dependences on $eta$ and $p_T$ are presented and compared with model evaluations.

This contribution reports on a proof-of-principle measurement of the longitudinal spin transfer $D_{LL}$ in inclusive $Lambda$ and $bar Lambda$ production in polarized proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy $sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV. The data sample consists of about 3 $times$ $10^6$ minimum bias events collected in the year 2005 by the STAR experiment at RHIC with proton beam polarizations of up to 50%. The $Lambda$($bar Lambda$) candidates are reconstructed at mid-rapidity ($|eta|<1$) using the STAR Time Projection Chamber via the dominant decay channel $Lambdato p pi^-$ ($bar Lambda to bar p pi^+$). Their mean transverse momentum $p_T$ is about 1.3 GeV/c and longitudinal momentum fraction $x_F = 7.5 times 10^{-3}$ . The longitudinal $Lambda$($bar Lambda$) polarization is determined using a method in which the detector acceptance mostly cancels.
