Probing the electromagnetic fields in ultrarelativistic collisions with leptons from Z0 decay and charmed mesons

Ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions are expected to generate a huge electromagnetic field, eB≈1018Gauss, that induces a splitting of the directed flow, v1=〈px/pT〉, of charged particles and anti-particles. Such a splitting for charmed meson manifests even for neutral particle/anti-particles pairs...
