Charge separation in HIC: CP violation signal
L or BNon-zero angular momentum (or equivalently magnetic field) in heavy-ion collisions make it possible for P- and CP-odd domains to induce charge separation (D.Kharzeev, PL B 633 (2006) 260).
Electric dipole moment of QCD matter !
Measuring the charge separation with respect to the reaction plane was proposed by S.Voloshin, Phys. Rev. C 70 (2004) 057901.

Transport model with electromagnetic fieldThe Boltzmann equation is the basis of QMD like models:
Generalized on-shell transport equations in the presence of electromagnetic fields can be obtained formally by the substitution:
A general solution of the wave equations
For point-like particles
is as follows

Sources of fluctuation in an initial state
●Fluctuation in the position of spectator protons results in electromagnetic field fluctuation
● Event fluctuation in space geometry of participant nucleons is converted into flow fluctuation
● In the later (transient) time, fluctuation in temperature, baryon and charge density can result in some substructure (dipole-, quadropule-like) in a parton or/and hadron excited matter

Both in-plane and out-of-plane components needs an additional sizable source of asymmetry rather than only out-of-plane component as expected from CME

●Fluctuation in the spectator proton position results in noticeable fluctuation in e.m. field but not so large as predicted in the “thin disc” approximation.
● Fluctuation in the position of participant baryons is the source of the impact parameter fluctuation. It leads to an increase of the magnitude of v2 and generates odd flow harmonics. Does not influenced by retarded e.m. field.
● Actual calculations show no noticeable influence of the created electromagnetic fields and their fluctuation on observables. It is due to a compensation effect in action of transverse components of electric and magnetic fields on the quasiparticle transport.
●In intermediate stage of HIC the statistical fluctuations of charged particles in momentum space can generate charge dipole or even quadrupole. However these fluctuations are small, their orientation uniform and direction of the main axis is changed from event to event.
● First low-energy experiments within the RHIC BES program at √sNN = 7.7 and 11.5 GeV can be explained within hadronic scenario without reference to the spontaneous local CP violation.
● Direct inclusion of quarks and gluons in evolution (PHSD model) shows that the partonic scalar potential overestimates data and a new source is needed . This new source does not dominate in out-of-plane direction as could be expected for the CME but both in-plane and out-of-plane components contribute with a comparable strength (explicit color d.o.f. ?).
● Interpretation of the CME measurements is still puzzling.
