Abstract
We consider the decay of the neutral particle which could be formed du ring the heavy-ion collisions in which e(+)e(-) MeV peaks by the means of a Chems-Simons mechanism previously discussed by Guendelman and Ow en. By this mechanism, the formed particle is a 'four-dimensional' rea lization of the 2 + 1 Chem-Simons topological object. It is of interes t since it is able to explain the general features of the mass spectru m of the e(+)e(-) MeV peaks resulting from heavy ion collisions. In th is paper the polarizations of the e(+)e(-) decays of this so-called he avy Chern-Simons 'photon' are obtained with a view to a possible futur e comparison of experimental results with the polarizations predicted here.
