Permanent mean spin source of the chiral magnetic effect in neutron stars

 
 
 

Abstract


We suggest the generalization of the Anomalous Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics (AMHD) in the chiral plasma of a neutron star (NS) accounting for the mean spin in the ultrarelativistic degenerate electron gas within the magnetized NS core as a continuing source of the chiral magnetic effect. Using the mean field dynamo model generalized in AMHD, one can obtain the growth of a seed magnetic field up to $10^{18}\\,\\text{G}$ for an old non-superfluid NS at its neutrino cooling era $t < 10^6\\,\\text{yr}$, while neglecting any matter turbulence within its core and assuming the rigid NS rotation. The application of the suggested approach to the evolution of magnetic fields observed in magnetars, $B\\sim 10^{15}\\,\\text{G}$, should be self-consistent with all approximations used in the suggested laminar dynamo, at least, up to the jumps of growing fields.
