Title: Global Λ-hyperon polarization in Au+Au collisions at $$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$$ = 3 GeV

Abstract

Global hyperon polarization, $$\bar{P}_H$$, in Au+Au collisions over a large range of collision energy, $$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$$, has recently been measured and successfully reproduced by hydrodynamic and transport models with intense fluid vorticity of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). While naïve extrapolation of data trends suggests a large $$\bar{P}_H$$ as the collision energy is reduced, the behavior of $$\bar{P}_H$$ at small $$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$$ < 7.7 GeV is unknown. Operating the STAR experiment in fixed-target mode, we have measured the polarization of Λ hyperons along the direction of global angular momentum in Au+Au collisions at $$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$$ = 3 GeV. The observation of substantial polarization of 4.91±0.81(stat.)±0.15(syst.)% in these collisions may require a reexamination of the viscosity of any fluid created in the collision, the thermalization timescale of rotational modes, and of hadronic mechanisms to produce global polarization.

abstractNote = {Global hyperon polarization, $\bar{P}_H$, in Au+Au collisions over a large range of collision energy, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$, has recently been measured and successfully reproduced by hydrodynamic and transport models with intense fluid vorticity of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). While naïve extrapolation of data trends suggests a large $\bar{P}_H$ as the collision energy is reduced, the behavior of $\bar{P}_H$ at small $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ < 7.7 GeV is unknown. Operating the STAR experiment in fixed-target mode, we have measured the polarization of Λ hyperons along the direction of global angular momentum in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 3 GeV. The observation of substantial polarization of 4.91±0.81(stat.)±0.15(syst.)% in these collisions may require a reexamination of the viscosity of any fluid created in the collision, the thermalization timescale of rotational modes, and of hadronic mechanisms to produce global polarization.},
