Spin-dependent WIMP searches have traditionally presented results within an odd group approximation and by suppressing one of the spin-dependent interaction cross sections. We here elaborate on a model-independent analysis in which…
We consider spin-momentum correlations between the spin of the bottom baryon $\Lambda_{\mathrm{b}}$ and the momenta of its decay products in its inclusive semileptonic decay. We define several polar and azimuthal spin-momentum correlation…

Various theories beyond the Standard Model predict new particles with masses in the sub-eV range with very weak couplings to ordinary matter. A $P$-odd, $T$-odd, spin-dependent interaction between polarized and unpolarized matter is one…
Polarization and spin correlations have been explored very little for quarks other than the top. Utilizing the partial preservation of the quark's spin information in baryons in the jet produced by the quark, we examine possible analysis…
Measurements of angular correlations in nuclear beta decay are important tests of the Standard Model (SM). Among those, the so-called D correlation parameter occupies a particular place because it is odd under time reversal, and because the…
Spin polarization and entanglement are utilized by the BESIII experiment to learn more about the production and decay properties of hyperon-antihyperon pairs in a series of recent analyses of its unprecedented datasets at the $J/\psi$ and…
Polarization and spin correlations have been studied in detail for top quarks at the LHC, but have been explored very little for the other flavors of quarks. In this paper we consider the processes $pp\to q\bar{q}$ with $q = b$, $c$ or $s$.…

We introduce a distinctive feature of spin-polarized transport, the Spin Coulomb Drag: there is an intrinsic source of friction for spin currents due to the Coulomb interaction between spin ``up'' and spin ``down'' electrons. We calculate…
We analyse the $p p \to p \Lambda K^+$ total cross section data which were recently measured by the COSY-11 collaboration at an energy 2~MeV above the reaction threshold. Our analysis suggests that the measurement of the invariant mass…
