چکیده
A new global polarization measurement method based on the projection of vector properly defined system’s orbital angular momentum in Λ hyperon’s rest frame is briefly described. The advantages over standard procedure are discussed.

Spin content of the Λ hyperon
Using the known experimental data for the hyperon semileptonic decay constants, we calculate integrated quark densities ∆qΛ and ∆ΣΛ for the hyperon Λ with flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking taken into account. Symmetry breaking is implemented with the help of the chiral quark-soliton model in an approach, in which the dynamical parameters are fixed by the experimental data for six hyperon semilepto...
متن کاملThe Interpretation of Polarization Position Angle Measurements
I review the use of polarization data in the study of interstellar magnetic fields. On large scales in the interstellar medium, the polarization of background starlight is a good tracer of the projected plane-of-the-sky magnetic field structure in the neutral gas, and the field there appears to have roughly equal contributions from uniform and nonuniform components. In cases where a localized r...
متن کاملAndreev reflection measurements of spin polarization
We discuss aspects of Andreev reflection AR measurements in normal metal-superconductor N-S and ferromagnet-superconductor F-S devices. We describe the analytical model used to quantify spin polarization from the conductance measurements and discuss the validity of this simple model using parabolic bands as simple surrogates for real band structures. We present AR measurements of spin polarizat...
متن کاملA lattice study of the spin structure of the Λ hyperon
The internal spin structure of the Λ is of special importance for the understanding of the spin structure of hadrons in general. The comparison between the nucleon and Λ allows for a test of the relevant flavour-symmetry breaking effects. Using nonperturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions in the quenched approximation we have calculated the first moments of the unpo-larised, longitudinally p...
متن کاملNovel Structure Function for Photon Fragmentation into a Λ Hyperon and Transverse Λ Polarization in Unpolarized Electron-Positron Annihilation
The possibility is examined for the inclusive Λ in unpolarized electron-positron annihilation to be transversely polarized. Due to final-state interactions, there exists a novel structure function F̂ (z,Q) for the inclusive Λ hyperon (or any other baryons) production from the unpolarized time-like photon fragmentation, which makes contribution to the transverse Λ polarization in the unpolarized ...
