The inclusive hadronic production of $\eta_Q$($\eta_c$ or $\eta_b$) pair is proposed to extract the transverse momentum dependent(TMD) gluon distribution functions. We use nonrelativistic QCD(NRQCD) for the production of $\eta_Q$. Under…
We investigate the hyperon polarization and its relation with the directed flow of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in non-central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} = 27$ GeV. A modified 3-dimensional (3D) Glauber model is developed…
The A-dependence is observed in $x_F$-distributions for the $\Lambda K^0$ system produced with the small transverse momentum in the neutron-nucleus interactions. For the $\Lambda$ hyperons similar dependence isn't seen. The result is…
