Holographic spin alignment for vector mesons
Xin-Li Sheng, Yan-Qing Zhao, Si-Wen Li +2
We develop a general framework for studying the spin alignment for flavorless vector mesons by using the gauge/gravity duality. Focusing on the dilepton production through…
Entropy current and entropy production in relativistic spin hydrodynamics
Francesco Becattini, Asaad Daher, Xin-Li Sheng
We use a first-principle quantum-statistical method to derive the expression of the entropy production rate in relativistic spin hydrodynamics. We show that the entropy current is…
Strongly Interacting Matter Under Rotation: An Introduction
Francesco Becattini, Jinfeng Liao, Michael Lisa
Ultrarelativistic collisions between heavy nuclei briefly generate the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a new state of matter characterized by deconfined partons last seen microseconds af…
Polarization in relativistic fluids: a quantum field theoretical derivation
F. Becattini
We review the calculation of polarization in a relativistic fluid within the framework of statistical quantum field theory. We derive the expressions of the spin density matrix and…
Polarization and Vorticity in the Quark Gluon Plasma
Francesco Becattini, Michael Lisa
The quark-gluon plasma produced by collisions between ultra-relativistic heavy nuclei is well described in the language of hydrodynamics. Non-central collisions are characterized b…
Does the spin tensor play any role in non-gravitational physics?
F. Becattini
In view of the recent polarization measurements in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, we discuss the possibility of a physical meaning of the spin angular momentum in quantum…
