Chiral magnetic effect in isobaric collisions
We give a numerical simulation of the generation of the magnetic field and the charge-separation signal due to the chiral magnetic effect (CME) --- the induction of an electric current by the magnetic field in a parity-odd matter --- in the collisions of isobaric nuclei, \(^{96}_{44}\)Ru + \(^{96}_{...

Summary: | We give a numerical simulation of the generation of the magnetic field and the charge-separation signal due to the chiral magnetic effect (CME) --- the induction of an electric current by the magnetic field in a parity-odd matter --- in the collisions of isobaric nuclei, \(^{96}_{44}\)Ru + \(^{96}_{44}\)Ru and \(^{96}_{40}\)Zr + \(^{96}_{40}\)Zr, at \(\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=200\) GeV. We show that such collisions provide an ideal tool to disentangle the CME signal from the possible elliptic-flow driven background effects. We also discuss some other effects that can be tested by using the isobaric collisions. |
