Bayesian constraints on the transport coefficients and from spin polarization in relativisitic heavy-ion collisions

Sushant K. Singh, Eduardo Grossi, Francesco Becattini

Bayesian analyses in the context of relativistic heavy-ion collisions have so far relied almost exclusively on bulk hadronic observables constructed from momentum degrees of freedo…

Spin and polarization: a new direction in relativistic heavy ion physics

F. Becattini

Since the first evidence of a global polarization of hyperons in relativistic nuclear collisions in 2017, spin has opened a new window in the field, both at experimental and th…

Global hyperon polarization at local thermodynamic equilibrium with vorticity, magnetic field and feed-down

F. Becattini, I. Karpenko, M. Lisa +2

The system created in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions is known to behave as an almost ideal liquid. In non-central collisions, due to the large orbital momentum, such a system…
