Polarization transfer in hyperon decays and its effect in relativistic nuclear collisions

Abstract We calculate the contribution to the polarization of $$\Lambda $$ Λ hyperons in relativistic nuclear collisions at high energy from the decays of $$\Sigma ^{*}(1385)$$ Σ∗(1385) and $$\Sigma ^0$$ Σ0 , which are the predominant sources of $$\Lambda $$ Λ production besides the primary componen...
