The hot and dense medium produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions has been conjectured to be accompanied by an axial charge asymmetry that may lead to a separation of electric charges in the direction of the extremely strong magnetic…
Through analyzing the quark propagator under the magnetic field, we establish that the axial anomaly originates from an additional Dirac structure in quark propagator induced by the magnetic field. This Dirac structure also allows one to…
In the standard model of particle physics, the chiral anomaly can occur in relativistic plasmas and plays a role in the early Universe, protoneutron stars, heavy-ion collisions, and quantum materials. It gives rise to a magnetic instability…
Charge separation induced by the chiral magnetic effect suggested that some ${\cal P}$- or ${\cal CP}$-odd metastable domains could be produced in a QCD vacuum in the early stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Based on a multi-phase…
A new sine observable, $R_{\Psi_2}(\Delta S)$, has been proposed to measure the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in heavy-ion collisions; $\Delta S = \left \langle \sin \varphi_+ \right \rangle - \left \langle \sin \varphi_- \right \rangle$,…
