abstract
We investigate the evolution of the chiral magnetic instability in a protoneutron star and compute the resulting magnetic power and helicity spectra. The instability may act during the early cooling phase of the hot protoneutron star after supernova core collapse, where it can contribute to the buildup of magnetic fields of strength up to the order of $10^{14}$ G. The maximal field strengths generated by this instability, however, depend considerably on the temperature of the protoneutron star, on density fluctuations and turbulence spectrum of the medium. At the end of the hot cooling phase the magnetic field tends to be concentrated around the submillimeter to cm scale, where it is subject to slow resistive damping.

Chiral magnetic effect generates magnetar-strength dipoles independently of initial net helicity via localized structures on decade timescales.
During chiral plasma instability, excess energy from chiral asymmetry heats the plasma with δT ~ μ5²/T instead of fully building the helical magnetic field.
