Title: Examination of the observability of a chiral magnetically driven charge-separation difference in collisions of the Ru 44 96 + Ru 44 96 and Zr 40 96 + Zr 40 96 isobars at energies available at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

Here, anomalous viscous fluid dynamics model calculations for Ru 44 96 + Ru 44 96 and Zr 40 96 + Zr 40 96 collisions ( s N N = 200 GeV) are used in concert with a charge-sensitive correlator to test its ability to detect and characterize the charge separation difference expected from the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in these isobaric collisions. The tests indicate a larger charge separation for Ru 44 96 + Ru 44 96 than for Zr 40 96 + Zr 40 96 collisions and a discernible CME-driven difference of ~ 10 % in the presence of realistic non-CME backgrounds. Furthermore, they suggest a strategy for evaluating the relative influence of the background correlations, present for each isobar. These results suggest that charge-separation measurements for these isobaric species could serve to further constrain unambiguous identification and characterization of the CME in upcoming measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
