We develop a theoretical framework to study the feed-down effect of higher-lying strange baryons on the spin polarization of thehyperon. In this framework, we consider two-body decays through strong, electromagnetic, and weak processes and derive general formulas for the angular distribution and spin polarization of the daughter particle by adopting the helicity formalism. Using the realistic experimental data as input, we explore the feed-down contribution to the global and the localpolarizations and find that such a contribution suppresses the primordialpolarization, which is not strong enough to resolve the discrepancy between the current theoretical and the experimental results on the azimuthal-angle dependence ofpolarization. Our paper may also be useful for the measurement of spin polarization of baryons heavier than(e.g.,) in future experiments.
