Observation of transverse $$Lambda/bar{Lambda}$$ hyperon polarization in $$e^+e^-$$ annihilation at Belle

Guan, Y.*; Tanida, Kiyoshi   ; Belle Collaboration*; 205 of others*

We report the first observation of the spontaneous polarization of $$Lambda$$ and $$bar{Lambda}$$ hyperons transverse to the production plane in $$e^+e^-$$ annihilation, which is attributed to the effect arising from a polarizing fragmentation function. For inclusive $$Lambda/bar{Lambda}$$ production, we also report results with subtracted feed-down contributions from $$Sigma^0$$ and charm. This measurement uses a dataset of 800.4 fb$$^{-1}$$ collected by the Belle experiment at or near a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV. We observe a significant polarization that rises with the fractional energy carried by the $$Lambda/bar{Lambda}$$ hyperon.
