Abstract
The chiral magnetic effect (CME) and the chiral vortical effect (CVE) induce a correlation between baryon and electric currents. We show that this correlation can be detected using a new observable: a mixed baryon-electric charge correlator. This correlator is proportional to the baryon asymmetry, suggesting a novel way to separate the chiral effects from the background in heavy ion collisions.
