We study the polarization change of Lambda^0's produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions with respect to the polarization observed in proton-proton collisions as a signal for the formation of a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Assuming…
We investigate the decay of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda\nu\bar{\nu}$ with the polarized baryons of $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda$. With the most general hadronic form factors, we first study the decay branching ratio and then derive the longitudinal,…

Since its discovery, global polarization of the $\Lambda$ hyperon in heavy-ion collisions has been firmly established and is widely attributed to the large vorticity generated in the rotating quark-gluon plasma. In contrast, nearly fifty…
In these lectures I want to discuss how the structure functions in deep inelastic scattering relate to quark and gluon correlation functions. In particular we will consider the issue of intrinsic transverse momenta of quarks, which becomes…

Inclusive e\pmp single and double differential cross sections for neutral and charged current deep inelastic scattering processes are measured with the H1 detector at HERA. The data were taken at a centre-of-mass energy of \surds = 319GeV…
Spin-1 hadrons contain different aspects of spin physics from the ones of the spin-1/2 nucleon because of the existence of tensor-polarized structure functions. In the charged-lepton deep inelastic scattering from a spin-1 hadron or…
The $\Lambda$ hyperon spin flip and non-flip cross sections are calculated in a simple hadronic model by including both the $s$-channel process involving the spin 3/2, positive parity $\Sigma^*(1358)$ resonance and the $t$-channel process…
