“…Although there is still some uncertainty regarding the production mechanism for the Λ, great progress has been made as a result of the aforementioned spin observable measurements. Collectively, cross section and polarization measurements [18,15] were necessary to identify the various mechanisms for Λ production, including the identification of numerous intermediate excited nucleon (N * ) resonances. We seek to make analogous measurements for the Ξ − to explore production and the contributing S = −1 hyperon spectrum.…”

Section: Motivation: Testing Predictions From Theorymentioning
Recent measurements using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab of the reactions γ +p → K + +Λ and γ + p → K + + Σ 0 have been used to extract the spin transfer coefficients Cx and Cz for the first time. These observables quantify the degree of the photon circular polarization that is transferred to the recoiling hyperons in the scattering plane. The unexpected result is that Λ hyperons are produced "100% polarized" as seen when combining Cx and Cz with the induced transverse polarization, P . Furthermore, Cx and Cz seem to be linearly related. This paper discusses the experimental results and offers a hypothesis which can explain these observations. We show how the produced strange quark can be subject to a pure spin-orbit type of interaction which preserves its state of polarization throughout the hadronization process.
