Initial spin fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions and where to find them
Giuliano Giacalone, Enrico Speranza
Collective spin phenomena in the final states of heavy-ion collisions are typically understood to originate from vorticity and shear in the quark-gluon plasma. Here, we ask whether…

Initial-state-driven spin correlations in high-energy nuclear collisions
Giuliano Giacalone, Enrico Speranza
In the study of spin-polarization phenomena in heavy-ion collisions, it is typically assumed that final-state particles are polarized through thermal vorticity and shear. In this s…
