The spin transfer from vertically polarized beam protons to Λ or Σ hyperons of the associated strangeness production p → p → pK + Λ and p → p → pK 0 Σ + is described with the depolarization coefficient D NN . As the polarization of the hyperons is determined by their weak decays, detectors, which have a large acceptance for the decay particles, are needed. In this paper a formula is derived, which describes the depolarization coefficient D NN by count rates of a 4π detector. It is shown that formulas, which are given in publications for detectors with restricted acceptance, are specific cases of this formula for a 4π detector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
