Polarization of cascade hyperons and antihyperons

Abstract

Abstract Polarizations of cascade hyperons (Ξ0 and Ξ−) and antihyperons are especially interesting because they are very sensitive to the mechanism of their production. Hyperon polarization for existing data is considered in framework of the model of chromomagnetic polarization of quarks (CPQ). Hyperon and antihyperon polarization predictions are presented for a wide range of c.m.s. energy s and Feynman variable xF .
