The effects of topological charge change in heavy ion collisions: "Event by event P and CP violation"

Kharzeev, Dmitri E., McLerran, Larry D., Warringa, Harmen J.

Understand

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) contains field configurations which can be characterized by a topological invariant, the winding number Q_w.

Configurations with nonzero Q_w break the charge-parity CP symmetry of QCD.
We consider a novel mechanism by which these configurations can separate charge in the presence of a background magnetic field - the "Chiral Magnetic Effect".
We argue that sufficiently large magnetic fields are created in heavy ion collisions so that the Chiral Magnetic Effect causes preferential emission of charged particles along the direction of angular momentum.
