In QCD, chiral symmetry breaking is due to a non-trivial topological effect; among the best evidence of this physics would be event-by-event strong parity violation.

Charge separation in HIC: CP violation signal
L or BNon-zero angular momentum (or equivalently magnetic field) in heavy-ion collisions make it possible for P- and CP-odd domains to induce charge separation (D.Kharzeev, PL B 633 (2006) 260).
Electric dipole moment of QCD matter !
Measuring the charge separation with respect to the reaction plane was proposed by S.Voloshin, Phys. Rev. C 70 (2004) 057901.

CME – charge separation

HSD model with/without electromagnetic fields as a CME background does not reproduce the charged pion separation with respect to the reaction plane

HSD background for BES experiments on CMEV.Toneev et al., arXiv:1112.2595
Experiments at 7.7 and 11.5 GeV are explained by HSD, the CME is not seen
The HSD transport model with retarded electromagnetic fields has been developed.
The magnetic field and energy density of the deconfined matter reach very high values.
Actual calculations show no noticeable influence of the created electromagnetic fields on observables. It is due to a compensating effect in action of transverse components of electric and magnetic fields on the quasiparticle transport.
First low-energy experiments within the RHIC BES program at √sNN = 7.7 and 11.5 GeV can be explained within hadronic scenario without reference to the spontaneous local CP violation.
Direct inclusion of quarks and gluons in evolution is needed (PHSD model) for exploring the CME at √sNN above the top SPS energy as well as in future to consider spin d.o.f., to mimic directly the CME.
