## Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the $\Lambda^0_b\rightarrow J/\psi\Lambda$ angular distribution and the transverse production polarisation of $\Lambda^0_b$ baryons in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The measurements are performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb experiment. The polarisation is determined in a fiducial region of $\Lambda^0_b$ transverse momentum and pseudorapidity of $1 < p_{T} < 20$ GeV$/c$ and $2 < \eta < 5$, respectively. The data are consistent with $\Lambda^0_b$ baryons being produced unpolarised in this region. The parity-violating asymmetry parameter of the $\Lambda\rightarrow p\pi^-$ decay is also determined from the data and its value is found to be consistent with a recent measurement by the BES\,III collaboration.
