We demonstrate that spontaneous transverse polarization of Lambda baryon ($\Lambda$) production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation can be described using the transverse momentum dependent polarizing fragmentation functions (TMD PFFs). Using a simple Gaussian model, we perform an extraction of the TMD PFFs by fitting the BELLE collaboration's recent measurement of the $\Lambda$ transverse polarization in back-to-back $\Lambda+h$ production in $e^+ e^-$ collisions, $e^{-} + e^{+} \rightarrow \Lambda^{\uparrow}+h+X$. We find that this simple model accurately describes the experimental data for $\Lambda$ production associated with pions and kaons, and we are able to determine TMD PFFs for different quark flavors. We use these newly extracted TMD PFFs to make predictions for the transverse polarization of $\Lambda$ produced in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering at a future electron-ion collider, and find that such a polarization is around $10\%$ and should be measurable.

    A nonparametric pixel-based Bayesian method integrates TMD evolution with generative AI and SVD to image parton distributions and reveal null TMDs unconstrained by observables.

    A nonparametric pixel-based Bayesian method integrates TMD evolution with generative AI sampling and SVD to extract parton distributions and identify unconstrained null components from multi-scale observables.

  4. Hyperon-pair spin tomography beyond scalar spin correlations

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Scalar Lambda-pair spin correlations leave a continuous density-matrix degeneracy; full tensor tomography is required to claim entanglement, and a ³P₀ benchmark predicts a specific anisotropy pattern.
