摘要

We investigated the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in relativistic heavy-ion collisions through an improved two-plane method analysis of the \(\Delta \gamma\) Δ γ observable, probing \(\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}\) C P -symmetry breaking in the strong interactions and topological properties of the QCD vacuum. Using a multiphase transport model with tunable CME strengths, we systematically compared the Au+Au and isobar collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{_\textrm{NN}}} = 200\) s NN = 200 GeV. We observed a reduced difference in the CME signal-to-background ratio between the spectator and participant planes for Au+Au collisions compared with isobar collisions. A comprehensive chi-square analysis across all three collision systems revealed stronger CME signatures in Au+Au collisions than in isobar collisions, particularly when measured with respect to the spectator plane. Our findings demonstrate the enhanced experimental reliability of the two-plane method for CME detection in Au+Au collisions.
