在这篇综述中，我们检查了手性磁效应的当前理论和实验状态。我们讨论了解决解释中不确定性的未来策略，包括有关理论工作的建议，基于过去五年中收集的数据的测量建议以及在未来RHIC的光束使用建议。我们特别研究了碰撞核等射线（具有相同质量但电荷不同的核）的情况，并发现该案例令人信服。我们建议在完成RHIC任务的策略中，将手性磁效应与背景源分离为核定磁性效应的计划。
In this review, we examine the current theoretical and experimental status of the chiral magnetic effect. We discuss possible future strategies for resolving uncertainties in interpretation including recommendations for theoretical work, recommendations for measurements based on data collected in the past five years, and recommendations for beam use in the coming years of RHIC. We specifically investigate the case for colliding nuclear isobars (nuclei with the same mass but different charge) and find the case compelling. We recommend that a program of nuclear isobar collisions to isolate the chiral magnetic effect from background sources be placed as a high priority item in the strategy for completing the RHIC mission.
