Directed flow of charm quarks as a witness of the initial strong magnetic field in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions

Ultra-relativistic Heavy-Ion Collision (HIC) generates very strong initial magnetic field (B→) inducing a vorticity in the reaction plane. The high B→ influences the evolution dynamics that is opposed by the large Faraday current due to electric field generated by the time varying B→. We show that t...
