Recent developments in chiral and spin polarization effects in heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

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 phenomena. The time evolution of the magnetic fields in different models is discussed. The newly developed quantum kinetic theory for massive fermions is reviewed. We present theoretical and experimental results for the polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons and the ${\rho }_{00}$ value of vector mesons.
