Effective Chiral Magnetic Effect from Neutrino Radiation
arXiv:2211.14465 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.012701
Abstract
We develop an approach to chiral kinetic theories for electrons close to equilibrium and neutrinos away from equilibrium based on a systematic power counting scheme for different timescales of electromagnetic and weak interactions. Under this framework, we derive electric and energy currents along magnetic fields induced by neutrino radiation in general nonequilibrium states. This may be regarded as an effective chiral magnetic effect (CME), which is present without a chiral chemical potential, unlike the conventional CME. We also consider the so-called gain region of core-collapse supernovae as an example and find that the effective CME enhanced by persistent neutrino emission in time is sufficiently large to lead to the inverse cascade of magnetic and fluid kinetic energies and observed magnitudes of pulsar kicks. Our framework may also be applicable to other dense-matter systems involving nonequilibrium neutrinos.
