Hyperons: Session 1
- Andrea Palermo (Stony Brook University)
The observation of hyperon polarization along beam direction ($P_z$) in nucleus-nucleus collisions has opened a new way to study the complex vortical structures of the QGP. With the high-statistics data collected by the CMS experiment, we present the first $P_z$ results for $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ particles in pPb collision at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 8.16$ TeV over a wide transverse momentum and...
Recent experimental data indicate a strong phi vector meson spin alignment which can be explained as a result of a short distance correlation of fluctuating strong-force field. If such strong-force for strange quark exists in the late stage of heavy-ion collisions, it will also lead to spin-spin correlation of final state hyperons such as Lambda-(anti)Lambda. We calculate such spin-spin...
