“…STAR collaboration's measurement of global (phase space averaged) Λ polarization agrees with theoretical prediction [11,12]. However, when it comes to the phase space distribution of Λ spin polarization [13,14], the observed quadrupole pattern is firmly in tension with the theories assuming such quadrupole pattern is solely induced by thermal vorticity [15,16], a specific linear combination of vorticity and temperature gradients.…”

“…The Lorentz invariance for chiral fermions is proved to be nontrivial: the side-jump effect appears to ensure the conservation of the total angular momentum in binary collisions [49][50][51]. Recent numerical simulation [52] shows that the side-jump effect may provide a possible explanation of the puzzle of the Λ's local spin polarization [53,54].…”

“…The polarization of hyperons as a function of the azimuthal angle in the transverse plane has been recently measured in the STAR experiment [19,66]. However the data for the polarization along both the longitudinal and the transverse directions cannot be described by the hydrodynamic models (including A Multiphase Transport (AMPT) model from which the vorticity field is extracted by the coarse graining method) [62,67,68] based on the coupling of the thermal vorticity and the spin at equilibrium.…”
