$\Lambda$ polarization in very high energy heavy ion collisions as a probe of the Quark-Gluon Plasma formation and properties

Andrea Palermo, Eduardo Grossi, Iurii Karpenko +1

We have studied the spin polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in heavy ion collisions at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV and $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV carried out at RHI…
