CME -- Experimental Results and Interpretation

Abstract

The experimental status is reviewed on the search for the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Emphasis is put on background contributions to the CME-sensitive charge correlation measurements and their effects on data interpretation.
