We show how, beginning with the Fokker--Planck equation for electrons emitting synchrotron radiation in a storage ring, the corresponding equation for spin motion can be constructed. This is an equation of the Bloch type for the…
Polarization, the precession direction with respect to the background magnetization, is an intrinsic degree of freedom of spin wave. Introducing symmetry breaking mechanisms lies in the heart of lifting the degeneracy between polarized spin…
When polarized electron bunches are injected and circulated in a high-energy storage ring, the polarization of the bunches relaxes to the asymptotic value of the radiative polarization, caused by the synchrotron radiation. Hence the bunches…

Quasiparticles in semiconductors -- such as microcavity polaritons -- can form condensates in which the steady-state density profile is set by the balance of pumping and decay. By taking account of the polarization degree of freedom for a…
In a number of papers an attractive method of laser polarization of electrons (positrons) at storage rings or linear colliders has been proposed. We show that these suggestions are incorrect and based on errors in simulation of multiple…

The total angular momentum is conserved in the evolution of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion collision, and consists of two sectors: the orbital angular momentum (OAM) caused by kinetic motion, and the spin, an intrinsic…
