Isolating the chiral magnetic effect from backgrounds by pair invariant mass

Abstract Topological gluon configurations in quantum chromodynamics induce quark chirality imbalance in local domains, which can result in the chiral magnetic effect (CME) – an electric charge separation along a strong magnetic field. Experimental searches for the CME in relativistic heavy ion colli...
