Λ/¯ Λ global polarization from a two-component source

To summarize: in non-central collisions Λ and Λ hyperons can be produced from different density zones within the interaction region: core or corona polarization properties of Λ and Λ differ depending on the region they come from competing production effects: NΛ QGP/NΛ REC > 1 in central to semi-central collisions and NΛ QGP/NΛ REC < 1 in peripheral collisions so global Λ polarization can be larger than the global Λ polarization in peripheral collisions: corona-like in spite of the thermal vorticity-produced, Λ polarization is larger than Λ polarization in the central collisions: core-like in collisions with intermediate to large impact parameters, which correspond to the kind of collisions that favor the development of a larger thermal vorticity, NΛ QGP/NΛ REC . 1 and thus PΛ > PΛ
