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…
The polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons is preserved in the angular distribution of their decay products. This property allows one to study the spin structure of the $\Lambda$. In Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering where a high energy…
Polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons has been observed in various collision systems over a wide range of collision energies over the last 50 years since its discovery in Fermilab in the 70's. The existing experimental and theoretical…
We study the production of polarized $\Lambda$ hyperon in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering off an unpolarized target. We include the cases in which the $\Lambda$ hyperon is longitudinally polarized or transversely polarized, and in…
We investigate $\Lambda$ production in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering using a polarized lepton beam and find that the spin transfer is significantly suppressed by target fragmentation. As further demonstrated by a model…
Data on the nucleon spin structure suggests that the $u$ (and $d$) quark distributions in the $\Lambda$ hyperon may be polarized. If this correlation carries over into fragmentation, then the study of polarized $\Lambda$'s in the current…
A QCD formula for the polarization in the large-p_T \Lambda hyperon production in the unpolarized nucleon-nucleon collision at large x_F is derived. We focus on the mechanism in which the chiral-odd spin-independent twist-3 quark…
Spin dependent phenomena in inclusive hadron production have been extensively investigated, yet their microscopic origin and universality across different hadrons are still not fully understood. In particular, it is presently unknown…
We consider models for the spin transfers to $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons produced in lepton-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering. We make predictions for longitudinal $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ spin transfers for the COMPASS…
Ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions create the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) known as the hottest, least viscous, and most vortical fluid ever produced in terrestrial laboratories. Its vortical structure has been uncovered through the spin…
It has been realized for quite a long time that single-spin experiments, in which one of the colliding objects is transversely polarized, can be helpful in studying the properties of strong interaction in general and in testing Quantum…
The concept of a common local spin equilibrium for both spin-1/2 and spin-1 particles is incorporated into a thermal model of particle production in heavy-ion collisions at the top RHIC energies. We show that an effective spin polarization…
We have studied the spin polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in heavy ion collisions at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV and $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV carried out at RHIC and LHC colliders. We have calculated the mean spin…
We consider polarized Lambda hyperon production in proton-proton scattering, p p -> (\Lambda^\uparrow jet) jet X, in the kinematical region of the LHC experiments, in particular the ALICE experiment. We present a new Lambda polarization…
Based on $(448.1\pm2.9)\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we present the first observation of spin transverse polarization of $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ hyperons produced coherently…
The longitudinal and transverse spin transfers to $\Lambda$ ($\overline{\Lambda}$) hyperons in polarized proton-proton collisions are expected to be sensitive to the helicity and transversity distributions, respectively, of (anti-)strange…
A surprisingly large transverse polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in unpolarized hadron-nucleon/nucleus collisions has been observed for 50 years, and the origin of this polarization remains an important open question. Recently,…
We study inclusive Lambda hyperon production in pp collisions at BNL RHIC, with just one transversely polarized proton. We show that the measurement of the spin transfer between the initial proton and the produced Lambda is sensitive to the…
Using the self-analyzing decay of the $\Lambda$, the longitudinal spin transfer $D_{LL'}$ to the hyperon from a polarized electron beam scattering off an unpolarized proton target can be determined. For $\Lambda$s produced in the current…
The transverse polarization observed in the inclusive production of Lambda hyperons in the high energy collisions of unpolarized hadrons is tackled by considering a new set of spin and kT dependent quark fragmentation functions. Simple…
