abstract = {The weak decay parameter α− of the Λ is an important
quantity for the extraction of polarization observables in
various experiments. Moreover, in combination with α+ from
¯Λ decay it provides a measure for matter-antimatter
asymmetry. The weak decay parameter also affects the decay
parameters of the Ξ and Ω baryons and, in general, any
quantity in which the polarization of the Λ is relevant.
The recently reported value by the BESIII Collaboration of
0.750(9)(4) is significantly larger than the previous PDG
value of 0.642(13) that had been accepted and used for over
40 years. In this work we make an independent estimate of
α−, using an extensive set of polarization data measured
in kaon photoproduction in the baryon resonance region and
constraints set by spin algebra. The obtained value is
0.721(6)(5). The result is corroborated by multiple
statistical tests as well as a modern phenomenological
model, showing that our new value yields the best
description of the data in question. Our analysis supports
the new BESIII finding that α− is significantly larger
than the previous PDG value. Any experimental quantity
relying on the value of α− should therefore be
reconsidered.},
