Lambda Polarization in Lepton Induced Reactions
نویسنده
چکیده
Different phenomenological approaches for Λ and Λ polarization in polarized semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and electron-positron annihilation at Z pole are considered. Current and future experiments will soon provide accurate enough data to study spin phenomena in these reactions and distinguish between various models. Talk given at the SPIN-97 VII Workshop on High Energy Spin Physics 7-12 July 1997, Dubna, Russia. (to be published in the proceedings)

Nuclear effects on lepton polarization in charged-current quasielastic neutrino scattering
We use a correlated local Fermi gas (LFG) model, which accounts also for long distance corrections of the RPA type and final-state interactions, to compute the polarization of the final lepton in charged-current quasielastic neutrino scattering. The present model has been successfully used in recent studies of inclusive neutrino nucleus processes and muon capture. We investigate the relevance o...
متن کاملPolarization in Hyperon Photo- and Electro- Production
Multiple polarization observables must be measured to access the amplitude structure of pseudoscalar meson photoproduction off the proton. The hyperon-producing reactions are especially attractive to study, since the weak decays allow straightforward measurement of the induced and recoil polarization observables. In this paper we emphasize γ + p → K +Λ, discussing recent measurements of Cx, Cz,...

Longitudinal polarization of Lambda produced in e + e − annihilation at LEP energies is calculated in a picture for the spin content of Lambda which is consistent with the polarized deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering data and SU(3) flavor symmetry for hyperon decay so that the spin of Lambda is not completely carried by its s-valence quark. A comparison with the recent ALEPH data and the ...
متن کاملPolarization of Hyperons in Elementary Photoproduction
Recent measurements using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab of the reactions γ+p → K+Λ and γ+p → K +Σ have been used to extract the spin transfer coefficients Cx and Cz for the first time. These observables quantify the degree of the photon circular polarization that is transferred to the recoiling hyperons in the scattering plane. The unexpected result is that Λ hyperons are produced “100% po...
متن کاملSpin Alignment of Vector Meson in High Energy Reactions
The recent data on the polarization of vector meson at LEP show that the vector mesons favor the helicity zero state. We calculate the helicity density matrix of vector meson which contains a polarized fragmenting quark by adding the spin of the fragmenting quark and that of the antiquark created in the fragmentation. The data at LEP imply a significant polarization for the antiquark in the opp...
