Magnetohydrodynamics, charged currents, and directed flow in heavy ion collisions

The hot QCD matter produced in any heavy ion collision with a nonzero impact parameter is produced within a strong magnetic field. We study the imprint that these fields leave on the azimuthal distributions and correlations of the produced charged hadrons. The magnetic field is time dependent and th...
