Abstract

The possibility is examined for the inclusive Λ in unpolarized electron-positron annihilation to be transversely polarized. Due to final-state interactions, there exists a novel structure function F(z,Q2) for the inclusive Λ hyperon (or any other baryons) production from the unpolarized time-like photon fragmentation, which makes contribution to the transverse Λ polarization in the unpolarized electron-positron annihilation.
