Abstract
We discuss polarization effects in semi-leptonic decays of polarized and unpolarized heavy Λ-type baryons into heavy and into light Λ-type baryons. We use the non-leptonic decay of the daughter baryon and the leptonic decay of the W off-shell into a lepton pair as polarization analyzers to analyze the polarization of the daughter baryon and the W off-shell. Technically this is done by writing down joint angular decay distributions. We calculate the values of the various asymmetry parameters that characterize the angular dependence of the angular decay distributions where we use the predictions of the heavy quark effective theory (HQET) supplemented by simple ansätze for the q 2-dependence of the form factors.
