Description
With its precise vertex reconstruction and particle identification capabilities,
the LHCb detector is ideally suited to study the production and polarization
of primary and secondary particles. In particular, as the origin of hyperon po-
larization from unpolarized proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions is not
yet fully understood, measurements in different collision systems and kinematic
ranges must be provided. In this contribution, recent LHCb measurements
of hyperon polarization in heavy-ion collider and in fixed-target modes are dis-
cussed, including their implications for hadronization modification in small colli-
sion systems and for transverse-momentum-dependent parton distributions and
fragmentation functions.
