This paper presents high-precision experimental data of the polarization of the $\Lambda$ hyperon in the $\pi^{-}p \to K^{0} \Lambda$ reaction, measured in the angular range $0.6<\cos \theta ^{CM}_{K0}<1.0$ with a fine bin width of $d\cos…
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…
Polarization studies for heavy quarks can lead to important tests of the Standard Model. Top quark pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is considered near energy threshold. It is shown that for longitudinally polarized electrons the…
