abstract

In 2017, STAR Collaboration reported the measurements of hyperon global polarization in heavy ion collisions, suggesting the subatomic fireball fluid created in these collisions as the most vortical fluid. There remains the interesting question: at which beam energy the truly most vortical fluid will be located. In this work we perform a systematic study on the beam energy dependence of hyperon global polarization phenomenon, especially in the interesting $\hat{O}(1\sim 10)\ \rm GeV$ region. We find a non-monotonic trend, with the global polarization to first increase and then decrease when beam energy is lowered from $27~\rm GeV$ down to $3~\rm GeV$. The maximum polarization signal has been identified around $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7.7~\rm GeV$, where the heavy ion collisions presumably create the most vortical fluid. Detailed experimental measurements in the $\hat{O}(1\sim 10)\ \rm GeV$ beam energy region are expected to test the prediction very soon.

    In a rotating thermal medium modeled by soft-wall holography, J/ψ spectral peaks split by −ΩJ_z along the rotation axis and acquire projection-dependent distortions for transverse momentum.

    In AMPT and UrQMD simulations, fluid acceleration in heavy-ion collisions reaches a few hundred MeV, peaks at fireball boundaries, and evolves from stopping-dominated deceleration at low energies to boundary/tilt puls...

    Hydrodynamic calculations show Omega hyperon polarization exceeds that of Lambda and Xi due to spin but falls below STAR data, with particle-antiparticle splitting growing at lower energies and driven by chemical pote...
