Search for Vortical and Chiral Magnetic Effect at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

Description
The early stages of relativistic heavy ion collisions are expected to generate the strongest known electromagnetic fields (~10^18 Gauss) in nature. Interestingly, such collisions should also produce extremely large angular momentum (~1000 hbar). As a consequence of such extreme conditions, one expects to observe novel phenomena such as the Chiral Magnetic Effect and the Vortical Effect. In this talk, I will give an overview of the recent experimental results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the context of the search for such phenomena.
