INFNCA-TH0001 hep-ph/0001307 Λ and ¯ Λ polarization in polarized DIS
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the polarization of Λ+ Λ̄ baryons produced in polarized Deep Inelastic Scattering at leading order, with various spin configurations: longitudinally polarized leptons and unpolarized nucleon; unpolarized leptons and longitudinally or transversely polarized nucleons; longitudinally polarized leptons and nucleons. We show how the different results in the different cases are related to different aspects of the elementary dynamics and to the spin properties of the distribution and fragmentation functions and show how a combined analysis might give useful information. We give numerical results according to several sets of polarized fragmentation functions recently proposed.

متن کاملFragmentation Function and Nucleon Transversity Distribution in a Diquark Model
Based on a simple quark-diquark model, we propose a set of unpolarized, longitudinally polarized and transversely polarized fragmentation functions for the Λ by fitting the unpolarized Λ production data in ee annihilation. It is found that the helicity structure of the obtained Λ fragmentation functions is supported by the all available experimental data on the longitudinal Λ polarization. With...
متن کاملΛ , Λ polarization and spin transfer in lepton deep - inelastic scattering
The flavor and helicity distributions of the Λ and Λ hyperons for both valence and sea quarks are calculated in a perturbative QCD (pQCD) based model. We relate these quark distributions to the fragmentation functions of the Λ and Λ, and calculate the z-dependence of the longitudinal spin transfer to the Λ and Λ in lepton deepinelastic scattering (DIS). It is shown that the spin transfer to the...
متن کاملQuark Fragmentation Functions in a Diquark Model for Λ Production
Using a simple quark-diquark model, we extract a set of unpolarized and polarized fragmentation functions for the Λ based on the available unpolarized Λ production data in ee annihilation. It is found that there is a strong SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking in the unpolarized Λ fragmentation functions and that the polarized u and d quark contributions to the polarized Λ fragmentation are positive ...
