| Abstract: Charge dependent elliptic azimuthal anisotropy ($v_{\rm 2}$) in pPb and both $v_{\rm 2}$ and triangular azimuthal anisotropy ($v_{\rm 3}$) in PbPb collisions are measured at $\sqrt{ s_{\text{NN}} } = $ 5.02 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The normalized difference of $v_{\rm 2}$ between positively and negatively charged particles, ($v_{\rm 2}^{-}-v_{\rm 2}^{+}$)/($v_{\rm 2}^{-}+v_{\rm 2}^{+}$), shows a linear dependence with respect to the event-charged asymmetry $A_{\rm ch}$, with comparable slopes observed for pPb and PbPb collisions at similar multiplicities. In PbPb collisions, the slopes are found to be the same for the $v_{\rm 2}$ and $v_{\rm 3}$ coefficients within uncertainties. These observations pose a challenge to the hypothesis that the charge asymmetry dependence of $v_{\rm 2}$ arises from a chiral magnetic wave. However, the results are in qualitative agreement with expectations based on local charge conservation. | ||

| Summary |
| The charged-dependent elliptic flow coefficients ($v_{2}$) in pPb and both $v_{2}$ and triangular flow coefficients ($v_{3}$) in PbPb have been measured as a function of event-charged asymmetry at $ \sqrt{ s_{\text{NN}} } = $ 5.02 TeV. The normalized slope parameters of $v_{2}$ in pPb and PbPb collisions are found to be similar at the same event-charged particle multiplicities. Moreover, the normalized slope parameters of the $v_{2}$ and $v_{3}$ coefficients show similar magnitudes in various centralities. These observations would not be expected if the charge dependence resulted from a Chiral Magnetic Wave mechanism. The data are qualitatively consistent with predictions from the local charge conservation mechanism. |
