Transversely polarized Lambda production

Abstract

Transversely polarized Lambda production in hard scattering processes is discussed in terms of a leading twist T-odd fragmentation function which describes the fragmentation of an unpolarized quark into a transversely polarized Lambda. We focus on the properties of this function and its relevance for the RHIC and HERMES experiments.
