Search for the Chiral Magnetic Effect using Sliding Dumbbell Method in Isobar Collisions (${}_{44}^{96}Ru$+${}_{44}^{96}Ru$ and ${}_{40}^{96}Zr$+${}_{40}^{96}Zr$) at RHIC

Abstract

Experiments conducted in the last decade to search for the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) in heavy-ion collisions have been inconclusive. The Isobar program at RHIC was undertaken to address this problem. Also, a new approach known as the Sliding Dumbbell Method (SDM) has been developed to study the CME. This method searches for the back-to-back charge separation on an event-by-event basis.
