title = "Global Λ -hyperon polarization in Au+Au collisions at sNN =3 GeV GLOBAL Λ -HYPERON POLARIZATION in ... M. S. ABDALLAH et al.",
abstract = "Global hyperon polarization, P¯H, in Au+Au collisions over a large range of collision energy, sNN, was recently measured and successfully reproduced by hydrodynamic and transport models with intense fluid vorticity of the quark-gluon plasma. While na{\"i}ve extrapolation of data trends suggests a large P¯H as the collision energy is reduced, the behavior of P¯H at small sNN<7.7 GeV is unknown. Operating the STAR experiment in fixed-target mode, we measured the polarization of Λ hyperons along the direction of global angular momentum in Au+Au collisions at sNN=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, of the thermalization timescale of rotational modes, and of hadronic mechanisms to produce global polarization.
