In this short note I speculate on some consequences of the high energy collision picture in which the orbital angular momentum of the colliding hadrons can be converted into secondary particle angular spin momentum via some spin-orbital interaction. In particular I discuss a possibility to observe a non-zero polarization of secondary particles (e.g. hyperons) at midrapidity ($x_F=0$) and at low transverse momentum. I also speculate that such effects could contribute to the produced particle directed and elliptic flow observed in relativistic nuclear collisions.

  1. Spectral Functions of $J/\psi$ Meson in Rotating Thermal Background from Holography

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  2. Dissipative spin hydrodynamics in Bjorken flow and thermal dilepton production

    nucl-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Spin dynamics in dissipative hydrodynamics enhance thermal dilepton yields relative to standard viscous hydrodynamics in Bjorken flow, with the enhancement depending on spin transport coefficients.
