Abstract
Separation of charges along the extreme magnetic field created in non-central
relativistic heavy-ion collisions is predicted to be a signature of local parity
violation in strong interactions. We report on results for charge-dependent
two-particle azimuthal correlations with respect to the reaction plane for
Pb–Pb collisions at
√
sNN = 2.76 TeV recorded in 2010 with ALICE at
the LHC. The results are compared with measurements at RHIC energies and
against currently available model predictions for LHC. Systematic studies of
possible background effects including comparison with conventional (parityeven)
correlations simulated with Monte Carlo event generators of heavy-ion
collisions are also presented.
