18 Dec 2000 | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D64 (2001) 034019 | Subject: | hep-ph | Affiliation: | Niigata Univ. | Abstract: | Polarization of the Lambda hyperon produced with a large transverse momentum in the unpolarized nucleon-nucleon collision is analyzed in the framework of QCD factorization. We focus on the mechanism in which the soft-gluon component of the chiral-odd spin-independent twist-3 quark distribution E_F(x,x) becomes a source of the polarized quark fragmenting into the polarized Lambda. Our simple model estimate for this contribution indicates that it gives rise to a significant Lambda polarization at large x_F. This is in parallel with the observation that the soft gluon pole mechanism gives rise to a large single transverse spin asymmetry in the pion production at x_F o 1. | Source: | arXiv, hep-ph/0012225 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
