   Comment on "Scaling properties of background- and chiral-magnetically-driven charge separation in heavy ion collisions at ${\sqrt{s}}_{\mathrm{NN}}=200$ GeV (arXiv:2203.10029)"

   Fuqiang Wang🇺🇸

   In a recent preprint arXiv:2203.10029, the authors argue for a multiplicity scaling of the squared inverse width of the $R_{{\Psi }_2}$ distribution to claim a positive signal for the chiral magnetic effect from STAR's isobar data, in stark contradiction to the conclusion reached by the STAR Collaboration. This Comment points out the fallacy of their arguments and reinforces the STAR conclusion.
