Abstract

A search was made for polarization in inclusive proton production at 400 GeV/c, Pt=0.96 GeV/c, x=0.8. (Polarization in inclusive Λ production is 10% in this region.) These protons were used to produce Λ's at pt=0, and the polarization was found to be 0.003±0.006. This indicates that either the proton polarization is zero or that the pΛ spin transfer is zero, or both.
