Distorted quarkonia and spin alignment
Guowei Yan, Shu Lin
It is well-known that atoms can change their shape when subject to external electromagnetic fields. Analogous phenomenon is expected for particles, which are much smaller in size w…
Quantum Kinetic Theory for Quantum Chromodynamics
Shu Lin
We develop a quantum kinetic theory for QCD, which incorporates all leading order collision terms. At lowest order in gradient expansion, it reproduces the spin-averaged Boltzmann…
Kinetic theories: from curved space to flat space
Shu Lin
We generalize the equivalence between off-equilibrium state and gravitational perturbation of equilibrium state from dynamics of macroscopic quantities to that of microscopic parti…
Spin polarization of holographic baryon in strongly coupled fluid
Si-wen Li, Shu Lin
The spin polarization for baryon in a hydrodynamic medium has been extensively studied in the weakly coupled regime using quantum kinetic theory. As a first study of this problem i…
Polarized Dissociation and Spin Alignment of Moving Quarkonium in Quark-Gluon Plasma
Zhishun Chen, Shu Lin
Recent experiments have found spin alignment of with respect to event plane in heavy ion collisions, suggesting a medium effect that is spin dependent. We propose a possible…
