Polarization of Inclusive $Λ_c$'s in a Hybrid Model
Abstract
Description
A hybrid model is presented for hyperon polarization that is based on perturbative QCD subprocesses and the recombination of polarized quarks with scalar diquarks. The updated hybrid model is applied to $p+p\to Λ+X$ and successfully reproduces the detailed kinematic dependence shown by the data. The hybrid model is extended to include pion beams and polarized $Λ_c$'s. The resulting polarization is found to be in fair agreement with recent experiments. Predictions for the polarization dependence on $x_F$ and $p_T$ is given.
