In search of chiral magnetic effect: separating flow-driven background effects and quantifying anomaly-induced charge separations

Abstract

We report our recent progress on the search of Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) by developing new measurements as well as by hydrodynamic simulations of CME and background effects, with both approaches addressing the pressing issue of separating flow-driven background contributions and possible CME signal in current heavy ion collision measurements.
