Charge Asymmetry Correlations to Search for Local Parity Violation Fuqiang Wang Purdue University Outline Local parity violation in strong interactions and chiral magnetic effect Charge separation and correlation Charge correlator measurements by STAR Possible physics background Possible explanation by cluster particle correlations Charge asymmetry correlation measurements What could be the underline physics Potential measurements to confirm/refute LPV Summary 2 4/16/2017 QCD vaccu 4/16/2017 3 NCS = -2 -1 0 1 2 Energy of gluonic field is periodic in NCS direction (~ a generalized coordinate) Instantons and sphalerons are localized (in space and time) solutions describing transitions between different vacua via tunneling or go-over-barrier The volume of the box is 2.4 by 2.4 by 3.6 fm. The topological charge density Animation by Derek Leinweber Topological transitions have never been observed directly (e.g. at the level of quarks in DIS). An observation of the spontaneous strong parity violation would be a clear proof for the existence of such physics. Chiral magnetic effect 4 Metastable QGP domain Chiral symmetry restoration, massless quarks Topological charge (e.g. Q=-1): quarks L ? R (by mom. flip)maximal parity violation. Strong magnetic field, spin locked: + charge spin up – charge spin down Single-handed quarks: momentum spin parallel + charge move up, – charge move down. Only Landau ground state is occupied. Thermal motion (~200 MeV) not important. Need large B, and ~massless quarks. 4/16/2017 Magentic field 5 Short duration: r/g ~ 0.1 fm. B drops quickly with time. Larmor radius: Much larger than lifetime of large B: r/g. The large B unlikely has an effect. Energy density in B field: 4/16/2017 Charge separation 6 Kharzeev et al. estimate: Charge asymmetry ~ 1%.
