Polarized Lambda Production at HERA

Abstract

We study the prospects for HERA with polarized electron and/or proton beams to determine the functions describing the fragmentation of a longitudinally polarized parton into a polarized Lambda baryon. We examine both semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) and photoproduction of Lambda.
