Spin Correlations in the $\Lambda \Lambda$ and $\Lambda \Lambda¯$ Systems Generated in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions

Spin correlations for the and ¯ pairs, generated in relativistic heavy ion collisions, and related angular correlations at the joint registration of hadronic decays of two hyperons with non-conservation of space parity are analyzed. Within the conventional model of oneparticle sources, correlations vanish at enough large relative momenta. However, under these conditions, in the case of two non-identical particles ( ¯ ) a noticeable role is played by two-particle annihilation (two-quark, two-gluon) sources, which lead to the difference of the correlation tensor from zero. In particular, such a situation may arise when the system passes through the “mixed phase”.
