Abstract
We study the production of longitudinally polarized baryons in single-spin collisions at BNL RHIC and DESY HERA- as a means of determining the spin-dependent fragmentation functions. It is shown that a measurement of the rapidity distribution of the 's would provide an excellent way of clearly discriminating between various recently suggested sets of polarized fragmentation functions that are all compatible with present data. We also address the main theoretical uncertainties, which appear to be well under control.
