Description
One of the most interesting and important phenomena predicted
to occur in heavy ion collisions is the local strong parity violation.
In non-central collisions, it is expected to result in charge separation
of produced particles along the system's orbital momentum.
I will report on results of the charge separation measurement
in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt{sNN} = 200 and 62 GeV
with the STAR detector at RHIC based on
three-particle mixed harmonic azimuthal correlations.
Systematic study of parity conserving (background) effects
with existing heavy ion event generators,
and their possible contributions to the observed
correlations will be also presented.
