abstract
We show that Σ hyperons produced by 800 GeV/c protons on targets of Be and Cu have significant polarizations (15-20%25). These polarizations persist at values of pt = 2 GeV/c and a wide range of xF. The polarizations from the Cu target are consistently less than from Be. The average ratio of the Σ polarization from Cu to that from Be is 0.68 ± 0.08.
We show that Σ%2b hyperons produced by 800 GeV/c protons on targets of Be and Cu have significant polarizations (15-20%25). These polarizations persist at values of pt = 2 GeV/c and a wide range of xF. The polarizations from the Cu target are consistently less than from Be. The average ratio of the Σ%2b polarization from Cu to that from Be is 0.68 ± 0.08.
