Next to Leading Order QCD Corrections to Polarized $Λ$ Production in DIS

Abstract

We calculate next to leading order QCD corrections to semi-inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering and $e^+e^-$ annihilation cross sections for processes where the polarization of the identified final-state hadron can also be determined. Using dimensional regularization and the HVBM prescription for the $γ_5$ matrix, we compute corrections for different spin-dependent observables, both in the $\overline{MS}$
