The polarization of the and hyperons along the beam direction has been measured in proton-lead ( ) collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 8.16 TeV. The data were obtained with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of . A significant azimuthal dependence of the hyperon polarization, characterized by the second-order Fourier sine coefficient , is observed. The values decrease as a function of charged particle multiplicity, but increase with transverse momentum. A hydrodynamic model that describes the observed values in nucleus-nucleus collisions by introducing vorticity effects does not reproduce either the sign or the magnitude of the results. These observations pose a challenge to the current theoretical implementation of spin polarization in heavy ion collisions and offer new insights into the origin of spin polarization in hadronic collisions at LHC energies.more » « less
