Abstract
Various novel transport phenomena in chiral systems result from the interplay of quantum anomalies with magnetic field and vorticity in high-energy heavy-ion collisions and could survive the expansion of the fireball and be detected in experiments. Among them are the chiral magnetic effect, the chiral vortical effect, and the chiral magnetic wave, the experimental searches for which have aroused extensive interest. The goal of this review is to describe the current status of experimental studies at Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider at BNL and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and to outline the future work in experiment needed to eliminate the existing uncertainties in the interpretation of the data.
Highlights
High-energy heavy-ion collisions can produce a hot, dense, and deconfined nuclear medium, which is dubbed the quarkgluon plasma (QGP)
The subscript α in (1) represents baryon or antibaryon in the chiral vortical effect (CVE) search. Another complementary transport phenomenon to the chiral magnetic effect (CME) has been found and named the chiral separation effect (CSE) [9, 10], in which chiral charges are separated along the Advances in High Energy Physics magnetic field direction in the presence of a finite vectorcharge density: J⃗5 ∝ μVB⃗
In heavy-ion collisions, these phenomena provide a unique probe to the topological properties of the QGP and manifest the charge dependence of the azimuthal distributions of the produced hadrons
