Influence of the turbulent motion on the chiral magnetic effect in the early Universe

Understand

We study the magnetohydrodynamics of relativistic plasmas accounting for the chiral magnetic effect (CME).

• To take into account the evolution of the plasma velocity, obeying the Navier-Stokes equation, we approximate it by the Lorentz force accompanied by the phenomenological drag time parameter.
• On the basis of this ansatz, we obtain the contributions of both the turbulence effects, resulting from the dynamo term, and the magnetic field instability, caused by the CME, to the evolution of the magnetic field governed by the modified Faraday equation.
• In this way, we explore the evolution of the magnetic field energy and the magnetic helicity density spectra in the early Universe plasma.
