Abstract: (arXiv)
We employ OPE techniques within HQET to calculate the inclusive semileptonic decays of polarized baryons. Lepton mass effects are included which enables us to also discuss rates into polarized -leptons. We present explicit results for the longitudinal polarization of the in the rest frame as well as in the c.m. frame. In both cases we make use of novel calculational techniques which considerably simplify the calculations. The transverse polarization components of the are calculated in the c.m. frame. We delineate how to measure the full set of 14 polarized and unpolarized structure functions of the decay process by angular correlation measurements. A set of observables are identified that allow one to isolate the contributions of the two nonperturbative matrix elements and .Note:
