Charge-selective topological locking and ultraslow coarsening in magnetoelastic media

Tirthankar Banerjee, Amaresh Jaiswal

We demonstrate that the symmetry of magnetoelastic coupling governs the topological organization of composite defects and can qualitatively alter phase-ordering kinetics. In a two-…

Spin relaxation of heavy quarks from momentum diffusion in the quark-gluon plasma

Ankit Kumar, Sourav Dey, Vinod Chandra +1

Heavy-quark spin dynamics in the quark-gluon plasma provides a potential probe of the interaction between heavy quarks and the medium. We develop a stochastic framework in which th…

Spin dynamics and polarization in relativistic systems: recent developments

Sourav Dey, Arpan Das, Hiranmaya Mishra +1

We review recent theoretical and experimental developments in spin dynamics and polarization phenomena in relativistic systems, with a particular focus on heavy-ion collisions. The…

Quantum spin dynamics of heavy quarks and polarization observables in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Sunil Jaiswal, Sourav Dey, Amaresh Jaiswal

We develop a quantum spin-density-matrix framework for heavy-quark spin dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Starting from an initial polarization induced along the magne…

Dissipative spin hydrodynamics in Bjorken flow and thermal dilepton production

Sejal Singh, Sourav Dey, Arpan Das +2

We investigate the boost-invariant expansion of a recently developed first-order spin hydrodynamic framework in which the spin chemical potential is treated as a leading-order hydr…

Hyperon longitudinal polarization and vector meson spin alignment in a thermal model for heavy-ion collisions

Soham Banerjee, Samapan Bhadury, Wojciech Florkowski +2

The concept of a common local spin equilibrium for both spin-1/2 and spin-1 particles is incorporated into a thermal model of particle production in heavy-ion collisions at the top…

Heavy quark polarization anisotropy as a novel probe of fireball geometry

Amaresh Jaiswal

We propose a new approach to probe the initial fireball geometry in relativistic heavy-ion collisions using spin polarization. Specifically, we introduce polarization harmonics of…

Polarized tau decay and CP violation in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions

Amaresh Jaiswal

We investigate the role of -lepton polarization in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions (UPCs) as a novel application of the intense electromagnetic fields generated in such pro…

Mean free path of photons in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Jajati K. Nayak, Rupa Chatterjee

Electromagnetic probes, such as photons and dileptons, play a key role in diagnosing the initial temperature of the hot and dense quark-gluon plasma (QGP) matter created in relativ…

Rotational Brownian motion and heavy quark polarization in QCD medium

Sourav Dey, Amaresh Jaiswal

We consider the rotational Brownian motion of heavy quark in QCD medium and provide analytical results for polarization of open heavy-flavor hadrons. We calculate expressions for v…

Diffusion coefficient matrix for multiple conserved charges: a Kubo approach

Sourav Dey, Amaresh Jaiswal, Hiranmaya Mishra

The strongly interacting matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions possesses several conserved quantum numbers, such as baryon number, strangeness, and electric charge. T…

Effects of strangeness on the chiral pseudocritical line

Mahammad Sabir Ali, Deeptak Biswas, Amaresh Jaiswal +1

Within a 2+1 flavor Nambu\textendash Jona-Lasinio model, we calculate the curvature coefficients and check them against available lattice QCD estimations. With the observation that…
