Chiral quark filtering mechanism of hyperon polarization

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

The model combined with unitarity and impact parameter picture provide a rather simple mechanism of hyperon polarization generation in collision of unpolarized hadrons. We concentrate on a particular problem of Λ\Lambda-hyperon polarization and derive its linear xFx_F-dependence as well as its energy and transverse momentum independence at large pp_\perp. Mechanism responsible for the single--spin asymmetries in pion production is also discussed.
