Polarization and chirality are direct manifestations of quantum mechanics in the Quark Gluon Plasma as a relativistic fluid. This is one of the reasons why they are intriguing phenomena, that have attracted so much attention lately. In this…
In recent decades, the spin and transverse momentum of quarks and gluons were found to play integral roles in the structure of the nucleon. Simultaneously, the onset of gluon saturation in hadrons and nuclei at high energies was predicted…
The rotation of polarization occurs for light interacting with chiral materials. It requires the light states with opposite chiralities interact differently with the materials. We demonstrate analogous rotation of polarization also exists…
A direct connection can be made between mixing angles in negative parity baryons and the spin coupling of constituent quarks. The mixing angles do not depend on spectral data. These angles are recalculated for gluon exchange and pion…
We evaluate the strangeness production from equilibrating and transversely expanding quark gluon plasma which may be created in the wake of relativistic heavy ion collisions. We consider boost invariant longitudinal and cylindrically…

The main focus of the physics program at PHENIX and STAR that makes use of RHIC's polarized proton beams is to figure out how and if at all the gluons inside protons are polarized, or to put it another way, do the spin 1 gluons prefer to…
Based on the formalism presented in [1], we make a systematic study of spin polarizations of hadrons with different spins including vector mesons, spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 hyperons and spin correlations of hadron-hadron such as…
We study the extremely polarized two-component Fermi gas with a mass imbalance in the strongly interacting regime. Specifically we focus on the experimentally available mixture of ${}^6$Li and ${}^{40}$K atoms. In this regime spin polarons,…
