Zilch Vortical Effect, Berry Phase, and Kinetic Theory
Xu-Guang Huang, Pavel Mitkin, Andrey V. Sadofyev +1
Rotating photon gas exhibits a chirality separation along the angular velocity which is manifested through a generation of helicity and zilch currents. In this paper we study this…
Wigner function and kinetic theory for massive spin-1/2 particles
Nora Weickgenannt, Xin-li Sheng, Enrico Speranza +2
We calculate the Wigner function for massive spin-1/2 particles in an inhomogeneous electromagnetic field to leading order in the Planck constant . Going beyond leading orde…
Polarization transfer in hyperon decays and its effect in relativistic nuclear collisions
F. Becattini, Gaoqing Cao, Enrico Speranza
We calculate the contribution to the polarization of hyperons in relativistic nuclear collisions at high energy from the decays of and , which are the predomin…
Kinetic theory for massive spin-1/2 particles from the Wigner-function formalism
Nora Weickgenannt, Xin-li Sheng, Enrico Speranza +2
We calculate the Wigner function for massive spin-1/2 particles in an inhomogeneous electromagnetic field to leading order in the Planck constant . Going beyond leading orde…
Relativistic fluid dynamics of spin-polarized systems of particles
Wojciech Florkowski, Bengt Friman, Amaresh Jaiswal +2
We review basic ingredients of the recently introduced perfect-fluid hydrodynamic equations for particles with spin one-half. For a quasi-realistic setup, first numerical solutions…
Dynamics of relativistic spin-polarized fluids
Wojciech Florkowski, Bengt Friman, Amaresh Jaiswal +2
We briefly review the foundations of a new relativistic fluid dynamics framework for polarized systems of particles with spin one half. Using this approach we numerically study the…
