Decorrelation of participant and spectator angular momenta in heavy-ion collisions

Joseph R. Adams, Michael A. Lisa

High-energy heavy-ion collisions contain enormous angular momentum, $|\vec{J}|$, which is $\mathcal{O}(10^3-10^6\hslash )$ in the range of collision energy, $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$, sp…
