Experimental Overview of the Search for Chiral Effects at RHIC

In high-energy heavy-ion collisions, various novel transport phenomena in local chiral domains result from the interplay of quantum anomalies with magnetic field and vorticity, and could survive the expansion of the fireball and be detected in experiments. Among these phenomena are the chiral magnet...

Description
Summary:In high-energy heavy-ion collisions, various novel transport phenomena in local chiral domains result from the interplay of quantum anomalies with magnetic field and vorticity, and could survive the expansion of the fireball and be detected in experiments. Among these phenomena are the chiral magnetic effect, the chiral vortical effect and the chiral magnetic wave, the experimental searches for which have aroused extensive interest. This review will describe the current status of experimental studies at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at BNL, and outline the future work in experiment needed to eliminate the existing uncertainties in the interpretation of the data.
