Real-time dynamics of axial charge and chiral magnetic current in a non-Abelian expanding plasma
arXiv:2308.14829 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.108.126010
Abstract
Understanding axial charge dynamics driven by changes in Chern-Simons number densities is a key aspect in understanding the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in heavy-ion collisions. Most phenomenological simulations assume that a large amount of axial charge is produced in the initial stages and that axial charge is conserved throughout the simulation. Within an (expanding) homogeneous holographic plasma, we investigate the real-time axial charge relaxation dynamics and their impact on the chiral magnetic current. Moreover, we discuss the real-time interplay of the non-Abelian and the Abelian chiral anomaly in the presence of a strong magnetic field. In the expanding plasma, the Chern-Simons diffusion rate and thus the axial charge relaxation rate are time dependent due to the decaying magnetic field. We quantify the changes in the late time falloffs and establish a horizon formula for the chiral magnetic current.
