Abstract：
By analyzing different hyperon decay processes, we derive the general formula for the decay contributions of heavier hyperons to hyperon production rates and final-state hyperon polarizations. Using a Monte-Carlo event generator , we study the decay contributions of hadrons to the final state hyperon polarizations in high energy reactions. The calculated results show that the decay contributions to the Λ polarization from other hyperons are very large and this result is universal and model independent. The polarization difference of Λ with high p_⊥ in the singly polarized pp collision among different models may mainly come from the decay contributions of hadrons. Considering the uncertainties of such calculations, the polarizations of Σ^±,Ξ⁰,Ξ^－ would be better quantities for testing models.
