Abstract:
Charge dependent elliptic azimuthal anisotropy () in pPb and both and triangular azimuthal anisotropy () in PbPb collisions are measured at with the CMS detector at the LHC. The normalized difference of between positively and negatively charged particles, ()/(), shows a linear dependence with respect to the event-charged asymmetry , with comparable slopes observed for pPb and PbPb collisions at similar multiplicities. In PbPb collisions, the slopes are found to be the same for the and coefficients within uncertainties. These observations pose a challenge to the hypothesis that the charge asymmetry dependence of arises from a chiral magnetic wave. However, the results are in qualitative agreement with expectations based on local charge conservation.Note:
