We present first results on transverse Lambda polarization from the 2002 COMPASS run at the CERN SPS. With the 160 GeV polarized muon beam on a polarized LiD target, Lambda and Antilambda production was observed with quasi-real photons (Q2<0.5 GeV2).
A measurement of transverse Lambda and Antilambda polarization was performed using the bias-cancelling method in order to minimize systematic effects. The polarization is studied in dependence on the kinematic variables xF and pt.
