Quantifying the Chiral Magnetic Effect from Anomalous-Viscous Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

In this contribution we report a recently developed Anomalous-Viscous Fluid Dynamics (AVFD) framework, which simulates the evolution of fermion currents in QGP on top of the bulk expansion from data-validated VISHNU hydrodynamics. With reasonable estimates of initial conditions and magnetic field lifetime, the predicted CME signal is quantitatively consistent with change separation measurements in 200GeV Au-Au collisions at RHIC. We further develop the event-by-event AVFD simulations that allow direct evaluation of two-particle correlations arising from CME signal as well as the non-CME backgrounds. Finally we report predictions from AVFD simulations for the upcoming isobaric (Ru-Ru v.s. Zr-Zr ) collisions that could provide the critical test of the CME in heavy ion collisions.Comment: Contribution to the Proceedings of the XXVIth International Conference on Ultrarelativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (Quark Matter 2017), Feb 5-11, Chicago, U.S.A. 4 pages, 6 figure
