In the standard model of particle physics, the chiral anomaly can occur in relativistic plasmas and plays a role in the early Universe, protoneutron stars, heavy-ion collisions, and quantum materials. It gives rise to a magnetic instability if the number densities of left- and right-handed electrically charged fermions are unequal. Using direct numerical simulations, we show this can result just from spatial fluctuations of the chemical potential, causing a chiral dynamo instability, magnetically driven turbulence, and ultimately a large-scale magnetic field through the magnetic alpha effect.

  1. Primordial magnetic field from chiral plasma instability with sourcing

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adding a chirality source allows the chiral plasma instability to generate helical magnetic fields below the 80 TeV erasure temperature, with a helicity estimate confirmed by 1024^3 simulations.
