Nucleon strangeness polarization from $$\varLambda /\bar{\varLambda }$$ Λ/Λ¯ hyperon production in polarized proton–proton collision at RHIC

Abstract We calculate the inclusive production of a polarized $$\varLambda $$ Λ or $$\bar{\varLambda }$$ Λ¯ hyperon from the single longitudinally polarized proton and proton (pp) collision at RHIC. By comparing the data reported by the STAR Collaboration, we find that this process is sensitive to t...
