The ALICE experiment was proposed in 1993, to study strongly-interacting matter at extreme
energy densities and temperatures. This proposal entailed a comprehensive investigation of …

Polarization has opened a new physics chapter in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Since the
first prediction and experimental observation of global spin polarization, a lot of progress has …

Starting with the polarization dependent Wigner function of vector mesons, we derive an
expression for the 00–component (ρ 00) of spin density matrix in terms of the second order …

We study the rapidity and azimuthal angle dependences of the global spin alignment ρ 00

We perform the linear analysis of causality and stability for a minimal extended spin
hydrodynamics up to second order of the gradient expansion. The first order spin …

Hot QCD physics studies the nuclear strong force under extreme temperature and densities.
Experimentally these conditions are achieved via high-energy collisions of heavy ions at the …

We derive the quantum kinetic theory for massive fermions with collision terms and self-
energy corrections based on quantum field theory. We adopt an effective power-counting …

The observation of the vector meson's global spin alignment by the STAR Collaboration
reveals that strong spin correlations may exist for quarks and antiquarks in relativistic heavy …

We develop a general framework for studying the spin alignment ρ 00 for flavorless vector
mesons by using the gauge/gravity duality. Focusing on the dilepton production through …
