Higher temperatures enable chiral plasma instability to grow magnetic fields from modest chiral chemical potentials, while CME from density fluctuations produces rapid Joule heating reaching QCD-scale energies in milliseconds to seconds.

abstract
Time evolution of electromagnetic field created in heavy-ion collisions strongly depends on the electromagnetic response of the quark-gluon plasma, which can be described by the Ohmic and chiral conductivities. The later is intimately related to the Chiral Magnetic Effect. I argue that a solution to the classical Maxwell equations at finite chiral conductivity is unstable due to the soft modes $k<\sigma_\chi$ that grow exponentially with time. In the kinematical region relevant for the relativistic heavy-ion collisions, I derive analytical expressions for the magnetic field of a point charge. I show that finite chiral conductivity causes oscillations of magnetic field at early times.

Time variation of the chiral magnetic conductivity in quark-gluon plasma modifies chiral Cherenkov radiation rates and produces strong jet polarization.
QED scattering amplitudes in a chiral medium with constant μ5 and b0 exhibit resonant behavior in multiple processes, with computed rates for 1→2 processes determining widths of fermion and photon states.
