| contents | The $Λ$ hyperon spin flip and non-flip cross sections are calculated in a simple hadronic model by including both the $s$-channel process involving the spin 3/2, positive parity $Σ^*(1358)$ resonance and the $t$-channel process via the exchange of a scalar $σ$ meson. Because of its large mass, the $Λ$ spin flip to non-flip cross sections is negligibly small in the $t$-channel process compared to the constant value of 1/3.5 in the $s$-channel process. With the $s-$channel $Λ-π$ spin-dependent cross sections included in a schematic kinetic model, the effects of hadronic scatterings on the $Λ$ spin polarization in Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=7.7$ GeV are studied. It is found that the $Λ$ spin polarization only decreases by 7-12\% during the hadronic stage of these collisions, which justifies the assumption in theoretical studies that compare the $Λ$ polarization calculated at the chemical freezeout to the measured one at the kinetic freezeout. |
