Book excerpt: At Brookhaven, .lambda.'s are produced polarized in p-p interactions perpendicular to a horizontal production plane defined by proton-unit vector x .lambda.-unit vector with their spins pointing down roughly twice as often as up, for a 1 GeV/c transverse .lambda. momentum. Such a large effect must indicate a simplicity in the underlying dynamics of particle production, even at low transverse momentum. Four BNL experiments are discussed in the context of experiments done at other energies with respect to present (lack of) understanding of the origin of the effect. 3 figures.
