چکیده
Data on the nucleon spin structure suggests that the u (and d) quark distributions in the Λ hyperon may be polarized. If this correlation carries over into fragmentation, then the study of polarized Λ's in the current fragmentation region of deep inelastic lepton scattering will be a sensitive probe of nucleon spin structure. Λ production by polarized electrons from unpolarized targets can search for this correlation. If it is signficant, Λ production by un-polarized electrons from longitudinally and transversely polarized targets can probe the u-quark helicity and transversity distributions in the nucleon. We review what is known about quark polarization in the Λ, summarize electro-production of polarized Λs, and estimate the sensitivity to quark polarizations in the nucleon. We also describe polarization phenomena associated with vector meson electroproduction that can be observed in the same experimental configuration.

Models of intermittent behaviour are usually formulated using a set of multiplicative random weights on a Cayley tree. However, inter-mittency in particle multiproduction from QCD jets is related to fragmentation of an additive quantum number, e.g. energy-momentum. We exhibit the non-trivial stochastic mapping between these additive and multiplicative cascading processes.
