We study the longitudinal spin polarization of a relativistic fluid of massive spin-1/2 particles undergoing a boost-invariant expansion in the longitudinal direction and rotating in the transverse plane. We express the polarization vector…
We suggest an approach to account for spatial (composition) and thermal fluctuations in "disordered" magnetic models (e.g. Heisenberg, Ising) with given spatial dependence of magnetic spin-spin interaction. Our approach is based on…
Spin polarization provides a novel probe of the rotational properties of the quark-gluon plasma formed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. This work investigates the equation of state, particularly its transport and thermodynamic…
Unraveling the origin of proton beams and ion Bernstein waves is important to understanding kinetic dissipation in the solar wind. Here we focus on their generation mechanisms, rather than their well-studied roles in instabilities and…
We derive the quantum kinetic theory for massive fermions with collision terms and self-energy corrections based on quantum field theory. We adopt an effective power counting scheme with $\hbar$ expansion to obtain the leading-order…
It has been realized that thermal shear plays a similar role as thermal vorticity in polarizing spin of particles in heavy ion collisions. We point out that shear has a fundamental difference that it leads to particle redistribution in the…
Observation of unexpectedly large global spin alignment of $\phi$ vector mesons in non-central heavy-ion collisions by STAR experiment may reveal the non-perturbative nature of quark interaction in hot matter through fluctuating strong…
In this study, we investigate the influence of deconfined QCD matter on quarkonium spin alignment in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We estimate the spin alignment of charmonium ($J/\psi$, and $\psi$(2S)) and bottomonium…
Relativistic hydrodynamics has been quite successful in describing the properties of strongly-interacting matter produced in heavy-ion collision experiments. Recently, there has been a significant advancement in this field to explain the…
Quasiparticles in semiconductors -- such as microcavity polaritons -- can form condensates in which the steady-state density profile is set by the balance of pumping and decay. By taking account of the polarization degree of freedom for a…
The mechanism of spin-pumping, described by Tserkovnyak et al., is formally analyzed in the general case of a magnetic multilayer consisting of two or more metallic ferromagnetic (FM) films separated by normal metal (NM) layers. It is shown…
We investigate the behaviour of vector mesons $\rho$, $\phi$, and $J/\Psi$ in both non-rotating and rotating thermal media using the soft-wall holographic QCD model with four flavours. By incorporating anisotropic backgrounds derived from…
Polarization has opened a new physics chapter in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Since the first prediction and experimental observation of global spin polarization, a lot of progress has been made in understanding its features, both at…
Rapid fluctuations are observed in the tensor-polarization $p_{zz}$ of deuteron beams forward-transmitted through graphite targets. Unpolarized 9.50 to 18.60\,MeV beams from the K\"oln tandem accelerator were utilized, and the polarization…
We study the spin polarization generated by the hydrodynamic gradients. In addition to the widely studied thermal vorticity effects, we identify an undiscovered contribution from the fluid shear. This shear-induced polarization (SIP) can be…
We review the calculation of polarization in a relativistic fluid within the framework of statistical quantum field theory. We derive the expressions of the spin density matrix and the mean spin vector both for a single quantum relativistic…
The emission from the relativistically hot plasmas of high-energy astrophysical synchrotron sources, pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) in particular, depends on the level of magnetic fluctuations. Recent observations by the X-ray polarimeter IXPE…
While jet quenching in relativistic heavy-ion collisions has been extensively studied over decades, the polarization of quenched hadrons has rarely been discussed. It has recently been proposed that the correlations of dihadron polarization…
We investigate the spin alignment of vector mesons arising from locally polarized quarks and anti-quarks (local spin alignment) in heavy-ion collisions. We find that $\rho_{00}\neq 1/3$ does not necessarily signal the global polarization of…
The main goals of `spin physics' are recalled, and some theoretical and phenomenological aspects of longitudinally polarized deep inelastic scattering and other hard processes are reviewed. The spin dependent parton densities of protons and…
