Dynamic Calculations of Magnetic Field and Implications on Spin Polarization and Spin Alignment in Heavy Ion Collisions
Hui Li, Xiao-Liang Xia, Xu-Guang Huang +1
Magnetic field plays a crucial role in various novel phenomena in heavy-ion collisions. We solve the Maxwell equations numerically in a medium with time-dependent electric conducti…
Chandrasekhar-Kendall-Woltjer-Taylor state in a resistive plasma
Ze-Yu Zhai, Yang-Guang Yang, Xiao-Liang Xia +1
We give a criterion for the Chandrasekhar-Kendall-Woltjer-Taylor (CKWT) state in a resistive plasma. We find that the lowest momentum (longest wavelength) of the initial helicity a…
Global hyperon polarization and effects of decay feeddown
Hui Li, Xiao-Liang Xia, Xu-Guang Huang +1
We study the global polarizations of , , and hyperons in noncentral Au+Au collisions at 7.7-200 GeV. We highlight the importance of effect of…
Global spin polarization of multistrange hyperons and feed-down effect in heavy-ion collisions
Hui Li, Xiao-Liang Xia, Xu-Guang Huang +1
Global spin polarization of hyperons is an important observable to probe the vorticity of the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions. We calculate the global polarizat…
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…
Local spin alignment of vector mesons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Xiao-Liang Xia, Hui Li, Xu-Guang Huang +1
We investigate the spin alignment of vector mesons arising from locally polarized quarks and anti-quarks (local spin alignment) in heavy-ion collisions. We find that $ρ_{00}\neq 1/…
Feed-down effect on spin polarization
Xiao-Liang Xia, Hui Li, Xu-Guang Huang +1
We develop a theoretical framework to study the feed-down effect of higher-lying strange baryons on the spin polarization of the hyperon. In this framework, we consider two-bod…
Probing vorticity structure in heavy-ion collisions by local polarization
Xiao-Liang Xia, Hui Li, Zebo Tang +1
We study the local structure of the vorticity field and the polarization in Au+Au collisions in the energy range -- GeV and Pb+Pb collisions at…
Some aspects of global Lambda polarization in heavy-ion collisions
Xiao-Liang Xia, Hui Li, Qun Wang
Large orbital angular momentum can be generated in non-central heavy-ion collisions, and part of it is expected to be converted into final particle's polarization due to the spin-o…
Local and global polarization in a vortical fluid
Hui Li, Hannah Petersen, Long-Gang Pang +3
We compute the fermion spin distribution in the vortical fluid created in off-central high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We employ the event-by-event (3+1)D viscous hydrodynamic mod…
Global polarization in heavy-ion collisions from a transport model
Hui Li, Long-Gang Pang, Qun Wang +1
The polarizations of and hyperons are important quantities in extracting the fluid vorticity of the strongly coupled quark gluon plasma and the magnitude of the magneti…
Approach to Chandrasekhar-Kendall-Woltjer State in a Chiral Plasma
Xiao-liang Xia, Hong Qin, Qun Wang
We study the time evolution of the magnetic field in a plasma with a chiral magnetic current. The Vector Spherical Harmonic functions (VSH) are used to expand all fields. We define…
