We investigate photon emission at the hadronization stage from a quark-gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. A recombination-model picture suggests that a quark and an antiquark bind into a meson state in hadronization,…

Data on the nucleon spin structure suggests that the $u$ (and $d$) quark distributions in the $\Lambda$ hyperon may be polarized. If this correlation carries over into fragmentation, then the study of polarized $\Lambda$'s in the current…
Polarization transfer from the longitudinally polarized positron to the final-state quark is considered for the underlying QCD subprocesses giving rise to the reaction e+(pol) + p --> e+ + Lambda(pol) + X at the HERMES energy.
In hydrodynamic approach to relativistic heavy ion collisions, hadrons with nonzero spin, produced out of the hydrodynamic medium, can acquire polarization via spin-vorticity thermodynamic coupling mechanism. The hydrodynamical quantity…
We review the present state of knowledge regarding the transverse polarisation (or transversity) distributions of quarks. After some generalities on transverse polarisation, we formally define the transversity distributions within the…
Characteristics of the available data are briefly summarized. Different theoretical approaches are reviewed with special attention to a non-perturbative model which explicitly takes the orbital motion of the valence quarks into account. The…
Multiple polarization observables must be measured to access the amplitude structure of pseudoscalar meson photoproduction off the proton. The hyperon-producing reactions are especially attractive to study, since the weak decays allow…
We calculate the transverse polarizations of the produced hyperons in the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering of unpolarized lepton beam on transversely polarized nucleon, since these polarizations provide a potential method for…

The production of the neutral strange hadrons $K^{0}_{S}$, $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ has been measured in $ep$ collisions at HERA using the ZEUS detector. Cross sections, baryon-to-meson ratios, relative yields of strange and charged…
The transverse polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons within unpolarized jets originates from the transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) fragmentation function $D_{1T}^\perp (z, p_T, \mu^2)$. In the vacuum environment, the QCD evolution of this…
Making use of the collinear expansion technique developed by Ellis, Furmanski and Petrozio, and the special propagator concept invented by Qiu, we present a factorization approach to the photon fragmentation tensor for the inclusive Lambda…
The Pomeron-gluon-gluon interaction is considered in the QCD-based model for the charmed baryon production in the process Pomeron + p --> \Lambda_c^+ + X. The polarization of the produced heavy quark is induced effectively through the…
We use the recombination and the Thomas Precession Model to obtain a prediction for the $\Lambda _0$ polarization in the $p+p \to \Lambda_0+X$ reaction. We study the effect of the recombination function on the $\Lambda_0$ polarization.
We propose a model for the longitudinal polarization of Lambda baryons produced in deep-inelastic lepton scattering at any xF, based on static SU(6) quark-diquark wave functions and polarized intrinsic strangeness in the nucleon associated…
We predict the polarization of Lambda and antiLambda hyperons in peripheral heavy ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energy, based on the assumption of local thermodynamical equilibrium at freeze-out. The polarization vector is…
The transverse polarization of a quark is a degree of freedom that is not taken into account in the most commonly used Monte Carlo generators. For the case "e^+e^- -> hadrons" I show that it is possible to use these generators to simulate…
The electroproduction of kaons on the nucleon is shown to be an ideal tool to extract electromagnetic form factors of strange mesons and hyperons. Longitudinal n(e,e'K0)Lambda cross sections are found to be sensitive to the K0 form factor,…
