The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a novel transport phenomenon, arising from the interplay between quantum anomalies and strong magnetic fields in chiral systems.
In high-energy nuclear collisions, the CME may survive the expansion of the quark-gluon plasma fireball and be detected in experiments. Over the past two decades, the experimental searches for the CME have aroused extensive interest at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main goal of this study is to investigate three pertinent experimental observables: the $\gamma$ correlator, the $R$ correlator, and the signed balance functions. We use both simple Monte Carlo simulations and a realistic event generator (EBE-AVFD) to verify the equivalence in the core components among these observables and to ascertain their sensitivities to the CME signal and the background contributions in the context of the isobar collisions at RHIC[1]
