Evidence of Spin-Orbital Angular Momentum Interactions in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
Author
Summary, in English
The first evidence of spin alignment of vector mesons (K∗0 and φ) in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is reported. The spin density matrix element ρ00 is measured at midrapidity (|y|
