We show that spin polarization of a fermion in a relativistic fluid at local thermodynamic equilibrium can be generated by the symmetric derivative of the four-temperature vector, defined as thermal shear. As a consequence, besides vorticity, acceleration and temperature gradient, also the shear tensor contributes to the polarization of particles in a fluid. This contribution to the spin polarization vector, which is entirely non-dissipative, adds to the well known term proportional to thermal vorticity and may thus have important consequences for the solution of the local polarization puzzles observed in relativistic heavy ion collisions.

Is nucleon spin thermalized in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions?
In Au+Au collisions at 50-150 AMeV, spin-thermalized formulas predict about twice the nucleon spin polarization that a spin-orbit transport model produces, indicating spin is not fully thermalized.
