Polarization of. lambda. 's and Lambda-bar 's in pp, p-barp, and K/sup -/p interactions at 176 GeV/c

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

We have measured the polarization of ..lambda..'s in inclusive pp and K/sup -/p reactions and of Lambda-bar's in p-barp interactions at a beam momentum of 176 GeV/c. Data were taken in the beam fragmentation region with hyperon transverse momenta from 0.2 to 1.5 GeV/c. The p-bar-2 produced Lambda-bar's have the same magnitude and sign of polarization as the p-2 produced ..lambda..'s whereas the ..lambda..'s from K/sup -/p interactions are more highly polarized and in the opposite direction.
