Two-component source to explain and global polarization in non-central heavy-ion collisions

A. Ayala, E. Cuautle, I. Domínguez +3

The STAR Beam Energy Scan program has found a difference in the global polarization of s and s produced in collisions. This difference is larger for lower center…

Quark spin - thermal vorticity alignment and the Lambda, anti-Lambda polarization in heavy-ion collisions

Alejandro Ayala, David de la Cruz, L. A. Hernández +2

It has been proposed that the and polarizations observed in heavy-ion collisions are due to the interaction between quark spin and thermal vorticity. In this work…

Core meets corona: a two-component source to explain Lambda and anti-Lambda global polarization in semi-central heavy-ion collisions

Alejandro Ayala, Marco Alberto Ayala Torres, Eleazar Cuautle +9

We compute the Lambda and anti-Lambda global polarization in semi-central heavy-ion collisions modeling the source as consisting of a high-density core and a less dense corona. We…

Relaxation time for the alignment between the spin of a finite-mass quark/antiquark and the thermal vorticity in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Alejandro Ayala, David de la Cruz, L. A. Hernández +1

We study the relaxation time required for the alignment between the spin of a finite-mass quark/antiquark and the thermal vorticity, at finite temperature and baryon chemical poten…

Relaxation time for quark spin and thermal vorticity alignment in heavy-ion collisions

Alejandro Ayala, David de la Cruz, S. Hernández-Ortíz +2

We compute the relaxation time for quark/antiquark spin and thermal vorticity alignment in a quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and quark chemical potential. We model the int…

Chiral asymmetry during the EWPT from CP-violating scattering off bubble walls

Alejandro Ayala, L. A. Hernández, Jordi Salinas

We compute a net electric current during a first order EWPT arising from the asymmetric propagation of fermion chiral modes due to a CP-violating interaction with the Higgs. The in…

Charge asymmetry from CP-violating fermion scattering off bubble walls during the electroweak phase transition

Alejandro Ayala, L. A. Hernández, Jordi Salinas

We compute the net electric current generated during a first order electroweak phase transition when fermions transit from the false to the true vacuum. This current is generated b…
