Abstract

Weinberg's model of weak and electromagnetic interaction predicts a longitudinal polarization of Λ0 in the decay Σ0→Λ0+e++e- which can be calculated uniquely, in terms of the Weinberg angle. The polarization of Λ0 is in general of the order of 10-5. However, for small |p+Λ| (Λ0 momentum)≈ 10-2 MeV/c, the polarization is large and is ≈ 0.1% for the Weinberg angle θW≈ 35°. The width of the peak, where the polarization is large, is narrow and is in the region where the number of events expected is small.
