Physical Review D Vol. 91, № 3. P. 032004-1-032004-23Abstract: The transverse polarization of Λ and Λ¯ hyperons produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-ofmass energy of 7 TeV is measured. The analysis uses 760 μb−1 of minimum bias data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in the year 2010. The measured transverse polarization averaged over Feynman xF from 5 × 10−5 to 0.01 and transverse momentum pT from 0.8 to 15 GeV is −0.010 0.005ðstatÞ 0.004ðsystÞ for Λ and 0.002 0.006ðstatÞ 0.004ðsystÞ for Λ¯ . It is also measured as a function of xF and pT, but no significant dependence on these variables is observed. Prior to this measurement, the polarization was measured at fixed-target experiments with center-of-mass energies up to about 40 GeV. The ATLAS results are compatible with the extrapolation of a fit from previous
measurements to the xF range covered by this measurement.
