The Chiral Magnetic Effect at Heavy Ion Collisions

Abstract

Quark-Gluon plasma produced in heavy ion collisions allows for the study of exotic physical effects, one example being the chiral magnetic effect. The generation of electrical current along the magnetic field creates new effects that can be investigated using electrodynamic and hydrodynamic techniques. The dependence of the flow parameters on the "chiral conductivity" is a topic for further analysis, and a framework is presented to investigate this.
