The longitudinal polarization of the Lambda(b) baryon is measured at the
LEP e(+)e(-) collider by DELPHI. It is determined from the charged
lepton and neutrino energy spectra in 249 +/- 19 Lambda(b) semileptonic
decays reconstructed in approximate to 3.5 million hadronic Z(0) decays
using Lambda(0)-lepton correlations. The measured polarization is:
P-Lambda b = -0.49(-0.30)(+0.32)(stat.) +/- 0.17(syst.). (C) Elsevier
