The self-polarization of relativistic electrons or positrons moving in a magnetic field at a storage ring occurs through the emission of spin-flip synchrotron radiation, known as the Sokolov-Ternov effect. The resulting transverse…

The photoproduction of K+ mesons is an important challenge to recent QCD based chiral perturbation theories in the strange quark sector and is an important constraint on the nucleon excitation spectrum. We present preliminary data from a…
The process $pp \to W^-c$ produces polarized charm quarks. The polarization is expected to be partly retained in $\Lambda_c$ baryons when those form in the $c$-quark hadronization. We argue that it will likely be possible for ATLAS and CMS…

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,…
