Description

We present a first-principles study of the dynamics of the
Chiral Magnetic Effect based on real-time lattice gauge theory
simulations with dynamical fermions. We demonstrate how topological
densities and transitions during the early stages of high-energy
collision lead to the production of axial charge imbalances via the
the axial anomaly and investigate in detail the interplay between
axial and vector currents in the presence of strong magnetic fields.
We also discuss how such simulations can be utilized to provide
initial conditions for the evolution in anomalous hydrodynamics, to
improve the understanding of experimental signatures of the effects in
high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
