Abstract
We have measured the and dependence of the polarization of hyperons produced in exclusive final states , , , and at 27.5 GeV/ . We present an empirical parametrization for polarization as a function of and : for and . This parametrization is independent of the final state and provides a good description of the data. We note that the mechanism responsible for polarization appears to be independent of the production mechanism.
