58. 58 The PHSD transport model with retarded electromagnetic fields shows :  creation of strong electric and magnetic fields at heavy-ion collisions  strong magnetic and electric forces compensate each other  small effect on observables  low-energy experiments within the RHIC BES program at √s NN = 7.7 and 11.5 GeV can be explained within hadronic scenario without reference to the spontaneous local CP violation.  PHSD doesn’t reproduce the exp. data on angular correlations at √s NN = 39 - 200 GeV  indication for CME?
