Searching for P- and CP-odd effects in heavy ion collisions
arXiv:1502.04031 · doi:10.1063/1.4938673
Abstract
In this talk we will summarize the main results from our recent work concerning the possibility that a new metastable phase occurs in some heavy ion collisions (HIC). This phase would be characterized by the breaking of two characteristic symmetries of strong interactions; namely P and CP. We investigate the experimental consequences of parity breaking in such a situation and propose suitable observables to elucidate the presence this phenomenon.
Talk presented at the XI Conference on Quark Confinement and Hadron Spectrum, Saint Petersburg, September 2014
