Abstract
The β decay of the Ω− hyperon (Ω− → Y0 + l− +\(\bar v\)) is studied with the polarization of the resulting particles taken into account. The decay probabilities are calculated along with the energy spectra, the degree of longitudinal polarization, and the coefficient of spin correlation between the electron and the (created) hyperon. The spin correlation coefficient arid the longitudinal polarization of the hyperon depend strongly upon the ratio of both vector and axial form factors.
