Chiral magnetic effect in 2+1 flavor QCD+QED

Abstract

The exciting possibility of direct observation of QCD instantons in heavy-ion collisions has recently been proposed by Kharzeev. The underlying phenomenon, known as the chiral magnetic effect, may have been observed recently at RHIC, and a first principles calculation is needed to confirm and understand the results. The chiral magnetic effect is thought to be visible in the symmetric phase, at temperatures above the QCD critical temperature, and in the presence of an external magnetic field. We report on first 2+1 flavor, domain wall fermion, QCD+QED dynamical simulations above the critical temperature, in a fixed topological sector(s), which are used to study the electric charge separation produced by the effect.
