Off-central relativistic heavy ion collisions impart very large orbital angular momenta onto the quark-gluon plasma, creating a strong vortex in the initial hot fluid and appearing eventually, via spin-vorticity coupling, as particle polarization. From the vorticity field given by a multi-phase transport model the authors compute the global polarization of $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ baryons which is in agreement with experimental data. This suggests that the spin of a hadron could provide…

It is shown that this component of the polarization decreases much slower with center-of-mass energy compared to the transverse component, even in the ideal longitudinal boost-invariant scenario with nonfluctuating initial state, and that it can be measured by taking advantage of its quadrupole structure in theTransverse momentum plane.

Some aspects of global Lambda polarization in heavy-ion collisions

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-orbit coupling.

Extremely large angular orbital momentum can be produced in non-central heavy-ion collisions, leading to a strong transverse polarization of partons that scatter through the quark-gluon plasma (QGP)
