Spin and quantum features of QCD plasma

Sep 16, 2024, 9:00 AM → Sep 20, 2024, 7:00 PM Europe/Rome

Aula Renzo Leonardi (ECT*)

Dirk Rischke (Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt (D)), Francesco Becattini (Università & INFN Firenze), Xu-Guang Huang (Fudan University Shanghai), Yi Yin (Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences)

The recent measurement of the spin polarization of particles produced in nuclear collisions has opened a new frontier for the study of strong-interaction matter under extreme conditions. Future experimental efforts will measure spin observables with unprecedented precision.

On the theoretical front, there is rapid progress in discovering new effects that polarize spin. However, the understanding of these new effects as well as their implementation in dynamical frameworks such as quantum hydrodynamics and kinetic theory are still under development. The goal of the workshop is to gather experts from both theory and experiment to determine the state-of-the-art knowledge in the field, to exchange ideas and methods, and to initiate new developments.
