Polarization of strange quarks is preserved to a high degree when they hadronize into Lambda baryons, as observed in Z decays at LEP. This opens up the possibility for ATLAS and CMS to use strange-quark polarization measurements as a characterization tool for new physics scenarios that produce such quarks. Measurements in ttbar samples would be useful for obtaining additional information about the polarization transfer from the strange quark to the Lambda baryon. Already with 100/fb in Run 2…

### Measuring quark polarizations at ATLAS and CMS

Being able to measure the polarization of quarks produced in various processes at the LHC would be of fundamental significance. Measuring the polarizations of quarks produced in new physics

### Measuring c-quark polarization in W +c samples at ATLAS and CMS

A bstractThe process pp → W−c produces polarized charm quarks. The polarization is expected to be partly retained in Λc baryons when those form in the c-quark hadronization. We argue that it will

### Measuring polarizations of bottom, charm, strange, up and down quarks in top decays

Standard Model $t\bar t$ samples in ATLAS and CMS provide an opportunity to conduct measurements of the polarization of quarks produced in top-quark decays. The bottom quarks from the $t \to W^+ b$

In an R-parity-conserving minimal supersymmetric scenario in which a single scalar-charm state is kinematically accessible, and where it decays exclusively into a charm quark and a neutralino, 95% confidence-level upper limits are obtained in the scalar -charm-neutralino mass plane.
