Tensor polarization and the dissipative damping of vector meson in QCD Medium
Feng Li, Shuai Y. F. Liu
Unexpectedly large and puzzling spin alignment, and thus tensor polarization, of vector mesons has been observed in heavy-ion collisions. Given that tensor polarization represents…

Spectral properties and spin alignment of meson in QCD Matter
Zhong-Yuan Sun, You-Yu Li, Shuai Y. F. Liu
As the spin alignment of a vector meson is predicted to be correlated with its spectral properties, we study the spectral properties of the meson using two microscopic Lagrang…

Zubarev response approach to polarization phenomena in local equilibrium
Youyu Li, Shuai Y. F. Liu
Using the expansion of Zubarev's density operator, we develop a linear response approach to study various spin physics in a locally equilibrated medium, particularly focusing on va…
