The global spin alignment of vector mesons has been observed by the STAR collaboration
at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). It …

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 derive an expression for the tensor polarization of a system of massive spin-1 particles in
a hydrodynamic framework. Starting from quantum kinetic theory based on the Wigner …

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 …

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 investigate the interaction of strong color fields in the glasma stage of high-energy
nuclear collisions with the spins of quarks and antiquarks. We employ the perturbative …

We present a derivation of quantum kinetic theory for massive spin-1 particles from the
Wigner-function formalism up to first order in an ℏ-expansion, including a general interaction …

We study the spin-dependent in-medium dynamics of quarkonia by using the potential
nonrelativistic QCD (pNRQCD) and the open quantum system framework. We consider the …

We present a calculation of the spin alignment for unflavored vector mesons in thermalized
quark-gluon plasma based on the Kubo formula in linear response theory. This is achieved …
