Description
We investigate the rotational Brownian motion of heavy quarks in a QCD medium and present predictions for the polarization of open heavy-flavor hadrons. Specifically, we derive expressions for vector and tensor polarization, which correspond to baryon spin polarization and meson spin alignment, respectively. Furthermore, we suggest that the transverse momentum dependence of heavy quark polarization could serve as a unique indicator of the strong initial magnetic field produced in off-central relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
