Polarization of Σ

We show that Sigma(+) hyperons produced by 800 GeV/c protons on targets of Be and Cu have significant polarizations (15-20%). These polarizations persist at values of p(t)approximate to2 GeV/c and a wide range of x(F). The polarizations from the Cu target are consistently less than from Be. The average ratio of the Sigma(+) polarization from Cu to that from Be is 0.68+/-0.08

Polarization of Σ+ hyperons produced by 800 GeV/c protons on Cu and Be

We show that Σ+ hyperons produced by 800 GeV/c protons on targets of Be and Cu have significant polarizations (15-20%). 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
