Description

The largest ever acceleration and vorticity in heavy-ion collisions corresponds, due to equivalence principle, to extremely strong gravity.
It may be observed due to various polarization effects. Also, the coupling of quarks and gluons to gravity and inertia is controlled by matrix elements of energy-momentum tensors, which may be extracted from polarization effects in hadronic reactions. The special role of MPD and SPD physics in these investigations is discussed.
