Transverse Lambda Polarization at LHC

Abstract

Transverse polarization of Lambda hyperons produced in p p and p Pb collisions is discussed. A factorized description in the intermediate to high pT region is considered that involves transverse momentum and spin dependence in the fragmentation process. Consequences and suggestions for investigations at LHC are pointed out for the process p + p -> Lambdauparrow + jets + X at midrapidity and p + p/Pb -> Lambdauparrow + X in the forward region.
