Hyperon polarizations (?, ?+) are widely used to study polarized fragmentation function, since their polarization can be measured through their self-analyzing decay. SU(6) DIS (Boros, Liang,PRD’98) fragmentation E.g., at the Z0 pole, <Pf>= -0.94 for f=s,d,b; <Pf>= -0.67 for f=u,c. The DIS data available: HERMES(PRD01), E665(EPC00) ----- large error ! NOMAD(NPB00), better statistics, but energy too low ! RHIC spin program (pp collision) is promising: (a) high statistics (high luminosity) (b) high energy (200-500GeV).
