We derive an electric current density j(em) in the presence of a magnetic field B and a chiral chemical potential mu(5). We show that j(em) has, not only the anomaly-induced term alpha mu B-5 (i.e. chiral magnetic effect), but also a nonanomalous correction which comes from interaction effects and is expressed in terms of the susceptibility. We find the correction characteristically dependent on the number of quark flavors. The numerically estimated correction turns out to be a minor effect on heavy-ion collisions but can be tested by the lattice-QCD simulation.

Abstract
We derive an electric current density j(em) in the presence of a magnetic field B and a chiral chemical potential mu(5). We show that j(em) has, not only the anomaly-induced term alpha mu B-5 (i.e. chiral magnetic effect), but also a nonanomalous correction which comes from interaction effects and is expressed in terms of the susceptibility. We find the correction characteristically dependent on the number of quark flavors. The numerically estimated correction turns out to be a minor effect on heavy-ion collisions but can be tested by the lattice-QCD simulation.File in questo prodotto:
