Description

It is well-known that vorticity induces polarization in quantum plasmas via chiral vortical effect (CVE). Besides the CVE-induced axial current, vorticity gives rise in the presence of a net baryon charge also to a helicity current via the novel helical vortical effect (HVE) [1], which is the focus of the present talk. The HVE and CVE applied together naturally explain the matter/anti-matter polarization asymmetry seen in the experimental data for hyperons reported by STAR [2].
