Polarization as a signature of local parity violation in hot QCD matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that local parity violation due to chirality imbalance in relativistic nuclear collisions can be revealed by measuring the projection of polarization vector onto momentum, i.e. helicity, final state baryons. The proposed method does not require a coupling electromagnetic field, like Chiral Magnetic Effect. By using linear response theory, we that, presence chiral imbalance, spin 1/2 baryons and anti-baryons receive an additional contribution along their momentum proportional axial chemical potential. additional, parity-breaking, helicity detected studying helicity-helicity azimuthal angular correlation.

Topologically induced local P and CP violation in hot QCD
Very stringent experimental bounds exist on the amount of P and CP violation in strong interactions. Nevertheless, the presence of non-Abelian topological solutions and the axial anomaly make the issue of CP invariance in QCD non-trivial (”the strong CP problem”). Even in the absence of a global P and CP violation the fluctuations of topological charge in the QCD vacuum are expected to play an ...
متن کاملAspects of Parity, Cp, and Time Reversal Violation in Hot Qcd
We discuss various aspects of parity, CP, and time reversal invariances in QCD. In particular, we focus attention on the previously proposed possibility that these experimentally established symmetries of strong interactions may be broken at finite temperature and/or density. This would have dramatic signatures in relativistic heavy ion collisions; we describe some of the most promising signals.
متن کاملParity Odd Bubbles in Hot Qcd
We consider the topological susceptibility for an SU(N) gauge theory in the limit of a large number of colors, N → ∞. At nonzero temperature, the behavior of the topological susceptibility depends upon the order of the deconfining phase transition. The most interesting possibility is if the deconfining transition, at T = Td, is of second order. Then we argue that Witten’s relation implies that ...
متن کاملGlobal polarization and parity violation study in Au+Au collisions
We present results on the parity violation effects and global system polarization measurements in Au+Au collisions at √ sNN = 62 GeV obtained with the STAR detector at RHIC. The parity violation effects are studied by three particle azimuthal correlations of charged particles. The global polarization of the system is examined by measuring the polarization of strange hyperons with respect to the...
