Chiral magnetic and vortical effects in high-energy nuclear collisions—A status report
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an elementary introduction into the physics of anomalous chiral effects, to describe the current status of experimental studies in heavy ion physics, and outline the future work, both in experiment and theory, needed to eliminate the existing uncertainties in the interpretation of the data.

Particle production in strong electromagnetic fields in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the origin and properties of electromagnetic fields produced in heavy-ion collisions and demonstrate by explicit analytical calculation that after dropping by about one-two orders of magnitude during the first fm/c of plasma expansion, it freezes out and lasts for as long as quark-gluon plasma lives.

The Chiral Magnetic Effect and anomaly-induced transport
TL;DR: The Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) is the phenomenon of electric charge separation along the external magnetic field that is induced by the chirality imbalance as discussed by the authors, which is a macroscopic quantum effect.
