Resumo

We estimate both the polarization of spin 1/2 baryons and the spin density matrix coefficients of spin 1 mesons using a thermal model that incorporates vorticity and polarization to describe quarks, along with a coalescence formalism where spin and vorticity are not in equilibrium. We find that while our model is not predictive due to its considerable number of free parameters, it has the potential to explain several seemingly puzzling features of experimental spin measurements, such as the absence of baryon polarization alongside significant vector meson spin alignment. We suggest measuring meson spin off-diagonal matrix elements, and examining the dependence of polarization observables on azimuthal angles, as methods to falsify this model and gain insights into the freeze-out details of baryon and meson spin structure.
