Description
Chiral plasmas exist in various environments, noticeably, the quark gluon plasma in heavy ion collisions and the electroweak plasma in early Universe and in supernovae. We discuss the possible new instabilities, which we call the chiral magnetovortical instability and chiral shear instability, that may emerge in chiral plasmas induced by the chiral vortical effect and chiral magnetic effect. The possible implications to heavy ion collisions and to supernova physics will also be discussed.
