Description
We present how the dynamics of the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) and Chiral Density Waves can be described during the pre-equilibrium stage of a heavy-ion collision, using classical-statistical real-time lattice simulations [1-3]. To this end we present results in a simplified set-up with dynamical (Wilson and Overlap) fermions simultaneously coupled to color and electro-magnetic fields. We demonstrate that our simulations enable us to test CME related effects quantitatively, including its proposed robustness as being 'topological protected', and we find that for realistic magnetic fields and quark masses important differences to previous idealized descriptions arise. We give an overview on how our microscopic approach ties into a larger picture, comprising anomalous dynamics at all stages of a heavy ion collision -- from kinetic descriptions to hydrodynamic evolution.
