POLARIZED Q-]LAMBDA FRAGMENTATION FUNCTIONS FROM E--]LAMBDA+X(E)

Measurement of the helicity asymmetric cross section for semi-inclusiv e production of LAMBDA hyperons in e+e- annihilation near the Z0 reson ance allows a complete determination of the spin-dependent fragmentati on functions for the different quark flavors into the LAMBDA. The pari ty-violating, self-analyzing, decay of the final state LAMBDA makes th e experimental analysis of the helicity asymmetry possible. This exper iment should be practical with present day technology at the LEP colli der at CERN or at the SLAC Linear Collider.
