We study the global polarization of spin-$3/2$ hadrons in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We show in particular that the global tensor polarizations of rank two or three for spin-$3/2$ hadrons are sensitive to the local two or three…
Spin transport in magnetic insulators is often treated by assuming that magnons carry a fixed spin angular momentum of $\hbar$, which does not hold in general, however. Here we calculate the magnon spin angular momentum of a layered…
We suggest that the large single spin asymmetries observed at high momentum fractions x_F and transverse momenta k_T of the pion in p^\uparrow p -> \pi(x_F,k_T)+X arise from the coherence of the soft interactions with the hard parton…
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 discuss the emission of $\phi$ mesons with longitudinal and transverse polarization in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. In the hadronic phase and in leading order in the kaon diluteness, $\phi$ emission is isotropic and driven by…
We estimate both the polarization of spin $1/2$ baryons and the spin density matrix coefficients of spin $1$ mesons using a thermal model that incorporates vorticity and polarization to describe quarks, along with a coalescence formalism…
We study the rapidity and azimuthal angle dependences of the global spin alignment $\rho_{00}$ for $\phi$ mesons with respect to the reaction plane in Au+Au collisions at RHIC by the relativistic coalescence model in the spin transport…
Exact analytical diagonalization is used to study the bipartite entanglement of the antiferromagnetic mixed spin-(1/2,$S$) Heisenberg dimer (MSHD) with the help of negativity. Under the assumption of uniaxial single-ion anisotropy affecting…
We give a brief overview of recent theoretical and experimental results on the chiral magnetic effect and spin polarization effect in heavy-ion collisions. We present updated experimental results for the chiral magnetic effect and related…
Nematic order in the iron-based superconductors is closely tied to a lattice distortion and a structural transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic symmetry. External stress of the appropriate symmetry acts as a conjugate field of the…
Non-Maxwellian metaequilibria can exist in low-collisionality plasmas as evidenced by satellite and laboratory measurements. By including the full pressure tensor dynamics in a fluid plasma model, we show that a sheared velocity field can…
Anisotropies in the final state of heavy-ion collisions carry information on the creation, expansion and evolution of the quark-gluon plasma. Currently, there is an abundance of studies on azimuthal anisotropies in comparison to…
Due to anisotropic momentum distributions the parton system produced at the early stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions is unstable with respect to the magnetic plasma modes. The instabilities isotropize the system and thus speed up…
A significant $\phi$-meson global spin alignment ($\rho_{00}$) signal was measured in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}\le62$ GeV. Conventional physics mechanisms such as $s(\bar{s})$ spin polarization fail to accommodate this $\rho_{00}$…
In high energy heavy-ion collisions the magnetic field is very strong right after the nuclei penetrate each other and a non-equilibrium system of quarks and gluons builds up. Even though quarks might not be very abundant initially, their…
We propose an effective field theory incorporating light SU(3)-flavour and heavy quark spin symmetry to describe charmed meson-antimeson bound states. At lowest order the effective field theory entails a remarkable simplification: it only…
Applying the connection between the parton Wigner distribution and orbital angular momentum (OAM), we investigate the probe of the gluon OAM in hard scattering processes at the planned electron-ion collider. We show that the single…
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…
Spin relaxation due to atom-atom collisions is measured for magnetically trapped erbium and thulium atoms at a temperature near 500 mK. The rate constants for Er-Er and Tm-Tm collisions are 3.0 times 10^-10 cm^3 s^-1 and 1.1 times 10^-10…
Chiral symmetry and heavy quark symmetry constrain the interactions of mesons containing a single heavy quark with low-momentum pions. Chiral corrections to the Isgur-Wise function for $\bar B_s \rightarrow D_s^{(*)}$ versus $\bar B…
