Left-right Asymmetry and Polarization for Inclusive Hyperon Production Processes * †
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the polarization in inclusive hyperon production and the left-right asymmetries in meson and hyperon production are closely related to one other. They can be understood in terms of a picture in which the orbital motion of valence quarks of the scattering hadrons play an important role.

It is shown that the polarization of hyperons observed in high energy collisions using unpolarized hadron beams and unpolarized nucleon or nuclear targets is closely related to the left-right asymmetries observed in single spin inclusive hadron production processes. The relationship is most obvious for the production of the hyperons which have only one common valence quark with the projectile. ...
متن کاملHyperon production mechanisms and single-spin asymmetry in high energy hadron-hadron collisions.
It is shown that the existence of left-right asymmetry in single-spin inclusive Lambda production, together with the characteristic features of the data, should be considered as another clear signature for the existence of orbiting valence quarks in polarized nucleons. Predictions for other hyperons are made. It is pointed out that measurements of such asymmetries are very helpful not only for ...
متن کامل2 The physical picture
It is pointed out that the recently measured left-right asymmetries in inclusive pion and lambda hyperon production processes are in very good agreement with the relativistic quark model, proposed some time ago. Further predictions based on this model for hyperon productions, for lepton pair productions and for W/Z-boson productions are also presented.
متن کاملHyperon Polarization in a Quark-Quark Scattering Model
A continuing mystery in particle physics is the large polarization observed in inclusive hyperon production in high energy proton-proton collisions. Both the inclusive nature of the process and the high energies involved make the observation of huge spin effects very surprising. In this paper the authors advance the concept that the polarization effects can be accounted for in a simple model ba...
متن کاملOits-573 Test of Cp Violation in Non-leptonic Hyperon Decays
In this talk I discuss CP violation in hyperon decays in Left-Right symmetric models. I show that the asymmetry in polarization in Λ → pπ can be as large as 6 × 10 in these models, which is an order of magnitude larger than the Standard Model prediction.
