Event-by-event generation of electromagnetic fields in heavy-ion collisions
Event-by-event generation of electromagnetic fields in heavy-ion collisions
We compute the electromagnetic fields generated in heavy-ion collisions by using the HIJING model. Although after averaging over many events only the magnetic field perpendicular to the reaction plane is sizable, we find very strong electric and magnetic fields both parallel and perpendicular to the reaction plane on the event-by-event …
