Longitudinal spin polarization of $\Lambda-$hyperons in a thermal model

TL;DR

This paper reviews how a thermal model predicts the longitudinal spin polarization of Lambda hyperons emitted from a hot, rotating hadronic medium created in non-central heavy ion collisions.

Contribution

It provides a summary of thermal model predictions for Lambda hyperon polarization in relativistic heavy ion collisions.

Findings

Thermal models can describe Lambda hyperon polarization.

Predictions align with experimental observations.

Rotational effects influence hyperon spin polarization.

Abstract

We briefly review the thermal model predictions related to longitudinal spin polarization of $\Lambda-$hyperons emitted from a hot and rotating hadronic medium produced in the non-central relativistic heavy ion collisions.
