Phenomenology of anomalous chiral transports in heavy-ion collisions

Understand

High-energy Heavy-ion collisions can generate extremely hot quark-gluon matter and also extremely strong magnetic fields and fluid vorticity.

• Once coupled to chiral anomaly, the magnetic fields and fluid vorticity can induce a variety of novel transport phenomena, including the chiral magnetic effect, chiral vortical effect, etc.
• Some of them require the environmental violation of parity and thus provide a means to test the possible parity violation in hot strongly interacting matter.
• We will discuss the underlying mechanism and implications of these anomalous chiral transports in heavy-ion collisions.
