We investigate the real-time dynamics of the chiral magnetic effect in quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We consider a field configuration of parallel (chromo)electric and (chromo)magnetic fields with a weak perpendicular electromagnetic magnetic field. The chiral magnetic effect induces an electromagnetic current along this perpendicular magnetic field, which we will compute using linear response theory. We discuss specific results for a homogeneous sudden switch-on and a pulsed (chromo)electric field in a static and homogeneous (chromo)magnetic field. Our methodology can be easily extended to more general situations. The results are useful for investigating the chiral magnetic effect with heavy ion collisions and with lasers that create strong electromagnetic fields. As a side result we obtain the rate of chirality production for massive fermions in parallel electric and magnetic fields that are static and homogeneous.

  1. In-in worldline formalism in pair creating fields

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In-in observables in pair-creating QED backgrounds are re-expressed exactly as in-out matrix elements with a universal non-local insertion, yielding a first-quantized formula for the probability of producing N pairs.

  2. Spacetime profile of electromagnetic fields in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions produce event-averaged electromagnetic fields of order (50 MeV)^2 with a significant E·B component and a dominant electric-field spacetime volume.
