Vector resonances spin alignement as a probe of spin hydrodynamics and freeze-out
Kayman J. Gonçalves🇧🇷 · Giorgio Torrieri🇧🇷
We argue that a detailed analysis of the spin alignement of vector mesons can serve as a probe of two little-understood aspects of spin dynamics in the vortical fluid: The degree of relaxation between vorticity and parton spin polarization, and the degree of coherence of the hadron wavefunction at freeze-out. We illustrate these with a coalescence model.
