We study the local structure of the vorticity field and the $\Lambda$ polarization in Au+Au collisions in the energy range $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=7.7$--$200$ GeV and Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2760$ GeV using A Multi-Phase…
We propose that a significant positive deviation from 1/3 for the spin density matrix element $\rho_{00}$ of the $\phi$ meson may indicate the existence of a mean field of the $\phi$ meson generated in heavy-ion collisions. This explains…
The elliptic flow splitting $\Delta v_2$ between $\bar{u}$ and $u$ quarks as well as between $\pi^-$ and $\pi^+$ in midcentral Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV has been studied, based on the framework of an extended multiphase…
We discuss Lambda polarization in semi-inclusive proton-proton collisions, with one of the protons longitudinally polarized. The hyperfine interaction responsible for the $\Delta$-$N$ and $\Sigma$-$\Lambda$ mass splittings gives rise to…
Understanding the origin of the proton spin is one of the most fundamental and challenging questions in QCD. Much progress has been made since the first surprising result by the EMC experiment in the late 1980s. However, the helicity…

We report our recent study on the global and local polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in Au+Au collisions at RHIC-BES energies within the (3+1)-dimensional CLVisc hydrodynamics framework. We present our numerical results for the global…
We present an analysis of the longitudinal $\bar \Lambda_0$ polarization in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The polarization of $\bar \Lambda_0$'s coming from the decay chain $\bar{\Xi}\to \bar{\Lambda}_0+\pi$ exhibits a very well…
The first measurement of inclusive J/psi polarization at mid-rapidity (|y^{J/psi}| < 0.8) in 200 GeV Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV with the STAR experiment at RHIC is presented. J/psi mesons are reconstructed through…
We present the centrality dependence of Lambda and Anti-Lambda hyperon global polarization in Au+Au collisions at sqrt{s_NN}=62 GeV and 200 GeV measured with the STAR detector at RHIC. Within the precision of the measurement, we observe no…
The splitting processes of bremsstrahlung and pair production in a medium are coherent over large distances in the very high energy limit, which leads to a suppression known as the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect. We continue study…

STAR has measured a variety of strange particle species in $p+p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV. These high statistics data are ideal for comparing to existing leading- and next-to-leading order perturbative QCD (pQCD) models.…
