Polarization of vector mesons in non-equilibrium hydrodynamics with spin
One of the most interesting developments in the investigation of quarkgluon plasma was the discovery that the vorticose fluid created in heavy ion collisions polarizes Lambda baryons and aligns spin of quarkonia and vector mesons.
2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Speaker(s): Kayman J. Goncalves, State University of Campinas, and Brazil
