Experimental searches for the chiral magnetic effect in heavy-ion collisions

J Zhao, F Wang - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2019 - Elsevier
The chiral magnetic effect (CME) in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) refers to a charge
separation (an electric current) of chirality imbalanced quarks generated along an external …

Rotating quark-gluon plasma in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Y Jiang, ZW Lin, J Liao - Physical Review C, 2016 - APS
We study the rotational collective motion of the quark-gluon plasma in relativistic heavy-ion
collisions using the widely adopted a multiphase transport (AMPT) model. The global …

Thermal vorticity and spin polarization in heavy-ion collisions

DX Wei, WT Deng, XG Huang - Physical Review C, 2019 - APS
The hot and dense matter generated in heavy-ion collisions contains intricate vortical
structure in which the local fluid vorticity can be very large. Such vorticity can polarize the …

Anisotropic parton escape is the dominant source of azimuthal anisotropy in transport models

L He, T Edmonds, ZW Lin, F Liu, D Molnar, F Wang - Physics Letters B, 2016 - Elsevier
We trace the development of azimuthal anisotropy (vn, n= 2, 3) via parton–parton collision
history in two transport models. The parton vn is studied as a function of the number of …

Further developments of a multi-phase transport model for relativistic nuclear collisions

ZW Lin, L Zheng - Nuclear Science and Techniques, 2021 - Springer
A multi-phase transport (AMPT) model was constructed as a self-contained kinetic theory-
based description of relativistic nuclear collisions as it contains four main components: the …

Hyperon polarization from the vortical fluid in low-energy nuclear collisions

Magnetic field induced polarization difference between hyperons and anti-hyperons

Y Guo, S Shi, S Feng, J Liao - Physics Letters B, 2019 - Elsevier
Recent STAR measurements suggest a difference in the global spin polarization between
hyperons and anti-hyperons, especially at relatively low collision beam energy. One …
