英文摘要：

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 polarizations of $Λ$, $Ξ^-$, and $Ω^-$ in Au+Au collisions at energies $\sqrt{s_\text{NN}}=$ 7.7--200 GeV based on a multiphase transport model. Our calculations suggest that their primary global polarizations fulfill $P_{Ω^-}\simeq 5/3P_{Ξ^-}\simeq 5/3P_Λ$. We also estimate the feed-down effect of particle decay on the global polarization. With the feed-down effect taken into account, the global polarizations of $Λ$ and $Ξ^-$ are clearly separated, and the final global polarizations are in the ordering: $P_{Ω^-}>P_{Ξ^-}>P_Λ$. Such a relation can be tested in experiments, which will provide us more information about the global polarization mechanism.

Multistrange baryon production in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Using a multiphase transport model, we study the production of multistrange baryons from the hadronic matter formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The mechanism we introduce is the strangeness-exchange reactions between antikaons and hyperons. We find that these reactions contribute significantly to the production of multistrange baryons in heavy ion collisions at SPS energies, which has been found to be appreciably enhanced. We have also made predictions for multistrange baryon production in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and found a similar enhancement.

Complete Strangeness Measurements in Heavy-Ion Collisions

We discuss strangeness production in heavy-ion collisions within and around the energy range of the planned NICA facility. We describe the minimal statistical model, in which the total strangeness yield is fixed by the observed or calculated $K^+$ multiplicity. We show how the exact strangeness conservation can be taken into account on the event-by-event basis in such a model. We argue that from strange particle yields one can reveal information about the collision dynamics and about possible modifications of particle properties in medium. This can be best achieved if the complete strangeness …

Hyperon productions from Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV

We evaluate centrality dependence of hyperon, $Λ, Ξ, Ω$ and $K$ meson yields from Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV using rate equation and compare with experimental observations. An increase in the yield per participating nucleon is observed with centrality. Higher rate of multistrange productions compared to single-strange are also observed in case of central collisions. Using rate equation or momentum integrated Boltzmann equation we discuss the yield microscopically which are then normalised with thermal pions to get the yield ratio,($H_s+\bar{H_s}$)/($π^++π^-$) at various centra…

Global hyperon polarization and effects of decay feeddown

We study the global polarizations of $Λ$, $Ξ^-$, and $Ω^-$ hyperons in noncentral Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=$ 7.7-200 GeV. We highlight the importance of effect of decay feeddown to the measured global polarization. With the decay contributions taken into account, the global polarization ordering $P_{Ω^-} > P_{Ξ^-} > P_Λ$ can be naturally explained, which is consistent with the observation recently reported from the STAR experiment from Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV. We also extend our calculations to predict expectations from the RHIC-BES II data.

Vorticity in the QGP liquid and hyperon polarization at the RHIC BES energies

We calculate the polarization of $Λ$ hyperons in Au-Au collisions at RHIC Beam Energy Scan range $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=7.7, \dots, 200$ GeV in a state-of-the-art 3+1 dimensional cascade + viscous hydro model vHLLE+UrQMD. We find that the polarization of $Λ$ in the out-of-plane direction decreases substantially with collision energy. We explore the connection between the polarization signal and thermal vorticity and discuss the feed-down and hadronic rescattering effects on the mean polarization of all produced $Λ$ hyperons.

Global hyperon polarization at local thermodynamic equilibrium with vorticity, magnetic field and feed-down

The system created in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions is known to behave as an almost ideal liquid. In non-central collisions, due to the large orbital momentum, such a system might be the fluid with the highest vorticity ever created under laboratory conditions. Particles emerging from such a highly vorticous fluid are expected to be globally polarized with their spins on average pointing along the system angular momentum. Vorticity-induced polarization is the same for particles and antiparticles, but the intense magnetic field generated in these collisions may lead to the splitting in p…

Study of Lambda polarization in relativistic nuclear collisions at sqrt{s}_NN = 7.7-200 GeV

We present a calculation of the global polarization of Lambda hyperons in relativistic Au-Au collisions at RHIC Beam Energy Scan range sqrt{s}_NN = 7.7 - 200 GeV with a 3+1 dimensional cascade + viscous hydro + cascade model, UrQMD+vHLLE. Within this model, the mean polarization of Lambda in the out-of-plane direction is predicted to decrease rapidly with collision energy from a top value of about 2% at the lowest energy examined. We explore the connection between the polarization signal and thermal vorticity and estimate the feed-down contribution to Lambda polarization due to the decay of hi…

Feed-down effect on $Λ$ spin polarization

We develop a theoretical framework to study the feed-down effect of higher-lying strange baryons on the spin polarization of the $Λ$ hyperon. In this framework, we consider two-body decays through strong, electromagnetic, and weak processes and derive general formulas for the angular distribution and spin polarization of the daughter particle by adopting the helicity formalism. Using the realistic experimental data as input, we explore the feed-down contribution to the global and the local $Λ$ polarizations and find that such a contribution suppresses the primordial $Λ$ polarization, which is …

Local equilibrium and Lambda polarization in high energy heavy ion collisions

The polarization of the $Λ$ hyperon has become an important probe of the Quark-Gluon Plasma produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Recently, it has been found that polarization receives a substantial contribution from a local equilibrium term proportional to the symmetric derivative of the four-temperature vector, the thermal shear tensor. We show that, at very high energies, this term can restore the agreement between the experimental measurements and the predictions of the hydrodynamic model, provided that the hadronization hypersurface is isothermal. We review the theoretical deriva…

Vorticity in the QGP liquid and $Λ$ polarization at the RHIC Beam Energy Scan

Polarization of $Λ$ hyperons and their antiparticles is calculated in a 3+1 dimensional viscous hydrodynamic model with initial state from UrQMD hadron/string cascade. We find that, along with recent results from STAR, the mean polarization at fixed centrality decreases as a function of collision energy from 1.5% at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=7.7$ GeV to 0.2% at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=200$ GeV. We explore the effects which lead to such collision energy dependence, feed-down corrections and a difference between $Λ$ and $\barΛ$.
