Quantum kinetic theory for spin-1/2 fermions in Wigner function formalism
Jian-Hua Gao, Zuo-Tang Liang, Qun Wang
We give a brief overview of the kinetic theory for spin-1/2 fermions in Wigner function formulism. The chiral and spin kinetic equations can be derived from equations for Wigner fu…
Vorticity and Spin Polarization in Heavy Ion Collisions: Transport Models
Xu-Guang Huang, Jinfeng Liao, Qun Wang +1
Heavy ion collisions generate strong fluid vorticty in the produced hot quark-gluon matter which could in turn induce measurable spin polarization of hadrons. We review recent prog…
Global polarization effect and spin-orbit coupling in strong interaction
Jian-Hua Gao, Zuo-Tang Liang, Qun Wang +1
In non-central high energy heavy ion collisions the colliding system posses a huge orbital angular momentum in the direction opposite to the normal of the reaction plane. Due to th…
Improved quark coalescence model for spin alignment and polarization of hadrons
Xin-Li Sheng, Qun Wang, Xin-Nian Wang
We propose an improved quark coalescence model for spin alignment of vector mesons and polarization of baryons by spin density matrix with phase space dependence. The spin density…
Recent developments in chiral and spin polarization effects in heavy-ion collisions
Jian-Hua Gao, Guo-Liang Ma, Shi Pu +1
We give a brief overview of recent theoretical and experimental results on the chiral magnetic effect and spin polarization effect in heavy-ion collisions. We present updated exper…
Generating spin polarization from vorticity through nonlocal collisions
Nora Weickgenannt, Enrico Speranza, Xin-li Sheng +2
We derive the collision term in the Boltzmann equation using the equation of motion for the Wigner function of massive spin-1/2 particles. To next-to-lowest order in it con…
