重离子碰撞中的热涡度和自旋极化

Thermal vorticity and spin polarization in heavy-ion collisions

De-Xian Wei, Wei-Tian Deng, Xu-Guang Huang

摘要:

在重离子碰撞中产生的热而致密的物质包含着复杂的涡旋结构,其中的局部流体涡度可以非常大。这样的涡旋可以使产生的粒子的自旋变小。我们研究了在$\sqrt{s}=7.7-200$ GeV能区Au + Au碰撞中所谓热涡的逐事件产生,并计算了它的时间演化、空间分布等。多相输运(AMPT)模型。然后,我们计算的$Λ$和$\barΛ$超子的自旋极化的$\sqrt{s}$,横向动量$p_T$,快度和方位角的函数。此外,我们研究的谐波流的自旋,以类似的方式的谐波流的粒子数。自旋谐波流的测量为研究重离子碰撞中的涡旋结构提供了一种新的途径。我们还讨论了$Ξ^0$和$Ω^-$超子的自旋极化,为强子的自旋极化机制提供了进一步的信息.

英文摘要:

The hot and dense matter generated in heavy-ion collisions contains intricate vortical structure in which the local fluid vorticity can be very large. Such vorticity can polarize the spin of the produced particles. We study the event-by-event generation of the so-called thermal vorticity in Au + Au collisions at energy region $\sqrt{s}=7.7-200$ GeV and calculate its time evolution, spatial distribution, etc., in a multiphase transport (AMPT) model. We then compute the spin polarization of the $Λ$ and $\barΛ$ hyperons as a function of $\sqrt{s}$, transverse momentum $p_T$, rapidity, and azimuthal angle. Furthermore, we study the harmonic flow of the spin, in a manner analogous to the harmonic flow of the particle number. The measurement of the spin harmonic flow may provide a way to probe the vortical structure in heavy-ion collisions. We also discuss the spin polarization of $Ξ^0$ and $Ω^-$ hyperons which may provide further information about the spin polarization mechanism of hadrons.
