Spin Polarization Induced by Inhomogeneous Dynamical Condensate

Shear-induced spin polarization in heavy-ion collisions

“…However, the development of hadronization and transport models which consistently include the spin degrees of freedom is highly non-trivial, see Refs. [28,29] for recent progresses. In order not to introduce complicated model assumptions, we shall ] assuming zero error in denominator.…”

“…By contrasting the results in the "Lambda equilibrium" scenario where the strange quark's memory is completely forgotten and those in the "strange memory" scenario, it is tempting to conclude that the presence of both SIP and the memory of strange quarks is required for the azimuthal angle dependence of spin polarization to agree with data qualitatively. For future quantitative studies, it is important to understand how to form a polarized Λ from the polarized quarks and the subsequent evolution in the hadronic stage [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Future studies should also investigate the evolution of quark spin polarization in QGP [17][18][19][20][21].…”

Foundations and Applications of Quantum Kinetic Theory

“…[332,333,335,343] with follow-up studies in, e.g., Refs. [337,376,377,341,378,377,161,379,380,381]. In this section, we will mostly follow the approach in Ref.…”

Dilepton Helical Production in a Vortical Quark-Gluon Plasma

“…There have been significant progress toward understanding the puzzle recently [16,17,18,19,20,21]. Theoretical frameworks such as quantum kinetic theory [22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,34,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43] and spin hydrodynamics [44,45,34,46,47,48] have been developed for the description of evolution of spin degree of freedom.…”
