Majorana flipping of quarkonium spin states in transient magnetic field

Abstract We demonstrate that spin flipping transitions occur between various quarkonium spin states due to transient magnetic field produced in non central heavy ion collisions (HICs). The inhomogeneous nature of the magnetic field results in non adiabatic evolution of (spin)states of quarkonia movi...
