A complete study of the angular distributions of the processes, $\Lambda_b \to {\Lambda} V(1^-)$, with $\Lambda \to p {\pi}^-$ and $V (J/{\Psi}) \to {\ell}^+ {\ell}^-$ or $V ({\rho}^0,\omega) \to {\pi}^+ {\pi}^-,$ is performed. Emphasis is…
We investigate the interparticle potential between spin-0, -1/2 and -1 sources interacting in modified electrodynamics in the non-relativistic regime. By keeping terms of $\mathcal{O}( |{\bf p}|^2/m^2 )$ in the amplitudes, we obtain spin-…
Understanding the quantum dynamics of spin defects and their coherence properties requires accurate modeling of spin-spin interaction in solids and molecules, for example by using spin Hamiltonians with parameters obtained from…
We observe spin rotations caused by atomic collisions in a non-equilibrium Bose-condensed gas of $^{87}$Rb. Reflection from a pseudomagnetic barrier creates counterflow in which forward- and backward-propagating matter waves have partly…
We calculate the double spin asymmetry of the diffractive $Q \bar Q$ and vector meson leptoproduction at COMPASS energies. We analyze dependences of the asymmetry on the structure of the Pomeron-proton coupling. It is shown that it is…
We calculate the spin density matrix of the hadron $h$ created via quark fragmentation in the process $e^-e^+ \to q\bar q \to h + X$. In the case of $h=\Lambda$ the experimental data could possibly elucidate the problem of $s$-quark…

The transverse single-spin asymmetry A_N observed in high energy proton-proton collisions p^\uparrow p \to pi X has been found to increase with the momentum fraction x_F of the pion up to the largest measured x_F \sim 0.8, where A_N \simeq…
We investigate polarization observables in hyperon-nucleon scattering by decomposing scattering amplitudes into spin-space tensors, where each component describes scattering by corresponding spin-dependent interactions, so that…
Double spin asymmetries in the diffractive $Q \bar Q$ and $J/\Psi$ leptoproduction are discussed. It is shown that the asymmetries for longitudinally polarized lepton and longitudinally or transversely polarized proton can be used to study…
The spin susceptibility is an important probe to characterize the symmetry of the order parameter in unconventional superconductors. Among them, nonunitary triplet superconductors have attracted a lot of attention recently in the context of…
Spin observables may reveal much deeper properties of non perturbative hadronic physics than unpolarized quantities. We discuss here possible origins of single spin asymmetries in DIS, absent in the elementary lepton-quark interactions, and…
The significant global spin alignment observed for $\phi$ mesons in heavy-ion collisions has sparked intense discussions about its origin and implications. One explanation suggests that fluctuations in the strong force field may introduce…
We study spin asymmetries in diffractive $Q \bar Q$ and vector meson production which are sensitive to the spin-dependent part of the two-gluon-nucleon coupling. It is found that the $A_{ll}$ and $A_{lT}$ asymmetry in diffractive reactions…
We consider a massive particle of arbitrary spin and the basis vectors that carry the unitary, irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group. From the complex coefficients in normalizable superpositions of these basis vectors, we…
We discuss some experimental and theoretical results on single spin asymmetries (SSA) in high energy lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron reactions. In particular, recent results on meson SSA obtained by HERMES are considered in detail. We also…
We reexamine the interpretation of the annual modulation signal observed by the DAMA experiment as due to WIMPs with a spin-dependent coupling mostly to protons. We consider both axial-vector and pseudo-scalar couplings, and elastic as well…
We examine whether the annual modulation found by the DAMA dark matter experiment can be explained by Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), in light of new null results from other experiments. CDMS II has already ruled out most…
