Recent experiments at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have indicated that hadrons containing strange quarks produced in non-central heavy ion collisions can be polarized. We investigate in detail the…
Global polarization of $\Xi$ and $\Omega$ hyperons has been measured for the first time in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV. The measurements of the $\Xi^-$ and $\bar{\Xi}^+$ hyperon polarization have been performed by two…
A surprisingly large transverse polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in unpolarized hadron-nucleon/nucleus collisions has been observed for 50 years, and the origin of this polarization remains an important open question. Recently,…
Using the symmetry properties of the strong interaction, such as the Pauli principle, the P-invariance, the conservation of the total angular momentum and isotopic invariance, we establish the spin structure of the threshold matrix elements…
In this article, we briefly review recent progress on hydrodynamic modeling and its implementations to relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC. The related topics include: 1) initial state fluctuations, final state…
Measurements of the net polarization of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have stimulated much interest in how strange quarks might align their spin with the vorticity of the matter created…
We review the theoretical framework for the calculation of particle polarization in relativistic heavy ion collisions within the hydrodynamical model. The covariant decomposition of the mean spin vector is presented and open theoretical…
Incorporating for the first time both the spin and isospin degrees of freedom explicitly in transport model simulations of intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions, we observe that a local spin polarization appears during collision process.…
The large statistics of millions of hadronic Z0 decays, accumulated by the four LEP experiments between 1989 and 1995, allowed for detailed investigations of the fragmentation process. Inclusive Lambda_b baryons and Lambda hyperons at…
A QCD formula for the polarization in the large-p_T \Lambda hyperon production in the unpolarized nucleon-nucleon collision at large x_F is derived. We focus on the mechanism in which the chiral-odd spin-independent twist-3 quark…
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…
The global polarization of $\Lambda/{\bar \Lambda}$ and the splitting of ${\bar \Lambda}-\Lambda$ polarization induced by rotation and magnetic field has been investigated in a dynamical quark model by taking into account the axial vector…
The $\Lambda$ hyperon spin flip and non-flip cross sections are calculated in a simple hadronic model by including both the $s$-channel process involving the spin 3/2, positive parity $\Sigma^*(1358)$ resonance and the $t$-channel process…
The transverse polarization observed in the inclusive production of Lambda hyperons in the high energy collisions of unpolarized hadrons is tackled by considering a new set of spin and kT dependent quark fragmentation functions. Simple…
We give a brief overview about recent developments in theories and experiments on the global and local spin polarization in heavy ion collisions.
In this Letter, we investigate the spontaneous transverse polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons produced in unpolarized $pp$ collisions inside a jet, by adopting a TMD approach where transverse momentum effects are included only in the…
Based on $(448.1\pm2.9)\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we present the first observation of spin transverse polarization of $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ hyperons produced coherently…
Longstanding puzzles in spin physics can be confronted at the high energies of the LHC. Will large s-quark and c-quark polarization be observed through heavy hyperon production? Top quarks are expected to have significant polarization -…
We study the production of transversely polarized Lambda hyperons in high-energy collisions of protons with large nuclei. The large gluon density of the target at saturation provides an intrinsic semi-hard scale which should naturally allow…
We give a theoretical perspective on the vorticity and spin polarization in heavy-ion collisions. We discuss the recent progress in spin hydrodynamics and spin kinetic theory. We also discuss other effects caused by vorticity including the…
