Initial large global angular momentum in non-central relativistic heavy-ion collisions can produce strong vorticity, and through the spin-orbit coupling, causes the spin of particles to align with the system’s global angular momentum. We present the azimuthal angle dependent (relative to the reaction plane) polarization for Λ and Λ in mid-central Au+Au collisions at [see formula in PDF] = 200 GeV. We also present the ϕ meson spin alignment parameter, ρ00 in Au+Au collisions at [see formula in PDF] = 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4 and 200 GeV. The implications of the results are discussed.

We show that flow anisotropies in relativistic heavy-ion collisions can be analyzed using a certain technique of shape analysis of excursion sets recently proposed by us for CMBR fluctuations to investigate anisotropic expansion history of the universe. The technique analyzes shapes (sizes) of patches above (below) certain threshold value for transverse energy/particle number (the excursion sets) as a function of the azimuthal angle and rapidity. Modeling flow by imparting extra anisotropic momentum to the momentum distribution of particles from HIJING, we compare the resulting distributions for excursion sets at two different azimuthal angles. Angles with maximum difference in the two distributions identify the event plane, and the magnitude of difference in the two distributions relates to the magnitude of momentum anisotropy, i.e. elliptic flow.
