Observation of $ \Lambda $ hyperon local polarization in pPb collisions at $ \sqrt{\smash[b]{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}}} = $ 8.16 TeV
Phys. Rev. Lett. 135 (2025) 132301
Abstract: The polarization of the $ \Lambda $ and $ \overline{\Lambda} $ hyperons along the beam direction has been measured in proton-lead ( pPb) collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 8.16 TeV. The data were obtained with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 186.0 $ \pm $ 6.5 $ \text{nb}^{-1}$. A significant azimuthal dependence of the hyperon polarization, characterized by the second-order Fourier sine coefficient $ P_{z,\mathrm{s}2} $, is observed. The $ P_{z,\mathrm{s}2} $ values decrease as a function of charged particle multiplicity, but increase with transverse momentum. A hydrodynamic model that describes the observed $ P_{z,\mathrm{s}2} $ values in nucleus-nucleus collisions by introducing vorticity effects does not reproduce either the sign or the magnitude of the pPb results. These observations pose a challenge to the current theoretical implementation of spin polarization in heavy ion collisions and offer new insights into the origin of spin polarization in hadronic collisions at LHC energies.

Summary
In summary, the first measurement of the second-order sine Fourier coefficients $ P_{z,\mathrm{s}2} $ of hyperon polarization along the beam direction in proton-lead collisions is presented. The data were obtained using the CMS detector at a nucleon-nucleon center of mass energy of 8.16 TeV. Significant positive $ P_{z,\mathrm{s}2} $ values are observed for $ \Lambda $ and $ \overline{\Lambda} $ particles as a function of charged particle multiplicity and transverse momentum. The observed signal exhibits behavior similar to that seen in nucleus-nucleus collisions, with $ P_{z,\mathrm{s}2} $ values increasing with rising transverse momentum and decreasing charged particle multiplicity. Hydrodynamic calculations with various polarization scenarios, which describe the results in nucleus-nucleus collisions, fail to describe the positive sign of the proton-lead results. These results pose a challenge to the current theoretical interpretation of spin polarization in heavy ion collisions.
