Only a fraction of all $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons detected in heavy ion collisions are produced from the hot and dense matter directly at the hadronization. These hyperons are called the {\em primary} hyperons. The rest of the…

Using the helicity formalism of Jacob and Wick we derive spin density matrices of baryon antibaryon pairs produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. We consider the production of pairs with spins $1/2+\overline{1/2}$, $1/2+\overline{3/2}$ (+c.c.)…
