Lattice QCD yields first-principles splitting ratios for chemical potentials in Ru+Ru vs Zr+Zr collisions that are comparable in size to Bayesian STAR extractions, with Δμ_Q negative, Δμ_S positive, and only moderate magnetic-field dependence.

abstract
We give a numerical simulation of the generation of the magnetic field and the charge-separation signal due to the chiral magnetic effect (CME) --- the induction of an electric current by the magnetic field in a parity-odd matter --- in the collisions of isobaric nuclei, $^{96}_{44}$Ru + $^{96}_{44}$Ru and $^{96}_{40}$Zr + $^{96}_{40}$Zr, at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=200$ GeV. We show that such collisions provide an ideal tool to disentangle the CME signal from the possible elliptic-flow driven background effects. We also discuss some other effects that can be tested by using the isobaric collisions.

Isospin-Driven Splitting of Chemical Potentials in Isobar Collisions from Lattice QCD
Lattice QCD yields first-principles splitting ratios for chemical potentials in Ru+Ru vs Zr+Zr collisions that are comparable in size to Bayesian STAR extractions, with Δμ_Q negative, Δμ_S positive, and only moderate magnetic-field dependence.
