We show that local parity violation due to chirality imbalance in relativistic nuclear collisions can be revealed by measuring the projection of the polarization vector onto the momentum, i.e. the helicity, of final state baryons. The proposed method does not require a coupling to the electromagnetic field, like in the Chiral Magnetic Effect. By using linear response theory, we show that, in the presence of a chiral imbalance, the spin 1/2 baryons and anti-baryons receive an additional contribution to the polarization along their momentum and proportional to the axial chemical potential. The additional, parity-breaking, contribution to helicity can be detected by studying helicity-helicity azimuthal angular correlation.

Following Caron-Huot and combining results for the thermal dependence of spectral functions at large time-like momenta, we write an explicit expression for the thermal width of the Higgs boson to $mathcal{O}(alpha_mathrm{s})$ for $T ll M_H$. It is an
$mathcal{O}( alpha_mathrm{s} (T/M_H)^4 )$ correction for $Hto gg$ and $Hto qbar{q}$. We also compile corresponding results for the thermal width of the $Z$-boson, and we recall which generic structures of the field theory, accessible via the operator product expansion, fix the $T/M$-dependence of the decay of heavy particles.
The effects of parity violation in the interaction of relativistic polarized protons and deuterons are discussed. Within Glaubers approach, estimates are obtained for P-odd asymmetries in the total and elastic scattering cross sections, in the deuter
on dissociation cross section, and in the inelastic cross section with meson production in a final state. It is shown that, from the point of view of the magnitude of the P-odd effects, the interaction of polarized deuterons with unpolarized protons has an advantage over the interaction of polarized protons with unpolarized deuterons. A significant P-odd asymmetry was found in the dissociation channel of the polarized deuteron.
Transport coefficients serve as important probes in characterizing the QCD matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Thermal and electrical conductivities as transport coefficients have got special significance in studying the time evolutio
n of the created matter. We have adopted color string percolation approach for the estimation of thermal conductivity ($kappa$), electrical conductivity ($sigma_{el}$) and their ratio, which is popularly known as Wiedemann-Franz law in condensed matter physics. The ratio $kappa/sigma_{el}T$, which is also known as Lorenz number ($mathbb{L}$) is studied as a function of temperature and is compared with various theoretical calculations. We observe that the thermal conductivity for hot QCD medium is almost temperature independent in the present formalism and matches with the results obtained in ideal equation of state (EOS) for quark-gluon plasma with fixed coupling constant ($alpha_s$). The obtained Lorenz number is compared with the Stefan-Boltzmann limit for an ideal gas. We observe that a hot QCD medium with color degrees of freedom behaves like a free electron gas.
We investigate chiral symmetry breaking and strong CP violation effects in the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. We demonstrate the effect of strong CP violating terms on the phase structure at finite temperature and densities in a 3-flav
or Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model including the Kobayashi-Maskawa-tHooft (KMT) determinant term. This is investigated using an explicit structure for the ground state in terms of quark-antiquark condensates for both in the scalar and the pseudoscalar channels. CP restoring transition with temperature at zero baryon density is found to be a second order transition at $theta = pi$ while the same at finite chemical potential and small temperature turns out to be a first order transition. Within the model, the tri-critical point turns out to be $(T_c,mu_c)simeq(273,94)$ MeV at $theta = pi$ for such a transition.
We propose the measurement of net $Lambda$ and $bar{Lambda}$ helicity, correlated event-by-event with the magnitude and sign of charge separation along the events magnetic field direction, as a probe to investigate the Chiral Magnetic Effect in Heavy
-Ion Collisions. With a simple simulation model of heavy-ion events that includes effects of Local Parity Violation, we estimate the experimental correlation signal that could be expected at RHIC given the results of previous measurements that are sensitive to the CME.
