概要 |
By colliding heavy ions at high energies, physicists are able to ``break up'' nuclear particles like protons and neutrons and create a hot ``subatomic soup'' - a new form of matter called a quark-gluon plasma (QGP).
Experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have found the QGP to be a nearly perfect quantum fluid over the past decade.
Very recently, there emerged compelling evidences that the hot fluid formed in these collisions behaves like ``subatomic swirls'' carrying a large angular momentum with the resulting nontrivial fluid vorticity field as well as a super-strong magnetic field.
The nontrivial interplay between such extreme fields and the spin degrees of freedom of the underlying microscopic constituents, leads to a number of novel quantum phenomena that have triggered widespread enthusiasm.
In this talk, I will discuss two remarkable examples, the global spin polarization of produced hadrons and the tantalizing anomalous transport via so-called Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME).
