Recent experimental results on global polarization of hyperons and spin alignment of vector mesons in heavy-ion collisions are reviewed, especially in context of the energy dependence and particle species dependence. New results on local…
This is prepared for a featured article in Nuclear Physics News. Recently, the global polarization of \Lambda and \bar{\Lambda} hyperons in heavy-ion collisions (HIC) has been observed by the STAR Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion…
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…
Fluid dynamic approach is a workhorse for modelling collective dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The approach has been successful in describing various features of the momentum distributions of hadrons produced in the heavy-ion…
The study of spin polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions provides insights into the angular momentum and vortical structure of the possible existence of QGP. The present study examines the global spin…
In non-central heavy-ion collisions, a large orbital angular momentum of the colliding system is produced, which is then partially transferred to the created medium, resulting in the particle polarization on average along the initial…
We give a brief overview about recent developments in theories and experiments on the global and local spin polarization in heavy ion collisions.
Heavy ion collisions generate strong fluid vorticty in the produced hot quark-gluon matter which could in turn induce measurable spin polarization of hadrons. We review recent progress on the vorticity formation and spin polarization in…
The extreme temperatures and energy densities generated by ultra-relativistic collisions between heavy nuclei produce a state of matter with surprising fluid properties. Non-central collisions have angular momentum on the order of…
We give a brief overview on global polarization and spin alignment in heavy ion collisions. The current theoretical understandings on global polarization of hyperons and the global spin alignment of vector mesons are summarized.
We investigate the hydrodynamic helicity polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons, defined as the projection of the spin polarization vector along the directions of particle momenta, at RHIC-BES energies by utilizing the relativistic (3+1)D…
The strongly interacting system created in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions behaves almost as an ideal fluid with rich patterns of the velocity field exhibiting strong vortical structure. Vorticity of the fluid, via spin-orbit coupling,…
The polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons from relativistic flow vorticity is studied in peripheral heavy ion reactions at FAIR and NICA energies, just above the threshold of the transition to the Quark-Gluon Plasma. Previous calculations at…
We report the measurements of global spin polarization of hyperons ($P_{\Lambda}$) from FAIR, RHIC and LHC energies. The $P_{\Lambda}$ continue to follow an increasing trend at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm NN}}$ < 7.7 GeV indicating that enormous…
The quark-gluon plasma produced by collisions between ultra-relativistic heavy nuclei is well described in the language of hydrodynamics. Non-central collisions are characterized by very large angular momentum, which in a fluid system…
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…
Since its discovery, global polarization of the $\Lambda$ hyperon in heavy-ion collisions has been firmly established and is widely attributed to the large vorticity generated in the rotating quark-gluon plasma. In contrast, nearly fifty…
Global polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons has been measured to be of the order of a few tenths of a percent in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV, with no significant difference between $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$. These new…
Since the first evidence of a global polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in relativistic nuclear collisions in 2017, spin has opened a new window in the field, both at experimental and theoretical level, and an exciting perspective. The…
STAR collaboration at RHIC has recently measured the polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in non-central heavy ion collisions in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES) program. The magnitude of the polarization was found to decrease from few…
