Description

We investigate the rotational Brownian motion of heavy quarks in a QCD medium, focusing on its connection to the polarization of open heavy-flavor hadrons. Our analysis indicates that the transverse momentum dependence of heavy-quark polarization can serve as a distinctive probe of the intense initial magnetic field generated in off-central relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Furthermore, we propose a novel application of this strong magnetic field produced in relativistic heavy-ion collision physics.
