The global polarization of the $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ hyperons ($P_{\rm H}$) has been measured in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sNN=$ 2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV in ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The hyperon global polarization is found…
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.

Inclusive hadron production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation has long been used to study both single hadron fragmentation functions (FF) and dihadron fragmentation functions (DiFF). In particular, the polarized DiFFs can be accessed in…
