Polarization of the $\varphi$ meson in the hadronic phase with nucleon scatterings and a viscous hydrodynamic background

Eduardo Grossi, Andrea Palermo, Ismail Zahed

We extend our previous work on the spin alignment of the $\varphi$ vector meson in the hadronic phase of the Quark Gluon Plasma, by including effects of nucleon scatterings. The emission…
