Running the numbers for the proposed theoretical cause of the parity violation leads to something a lot smaller than what is observed. While making simpler, non parity violating, arguments based on geometry and the elliptic flow in the fireball can get you near the right numbers. See this paper for another explanation of the observed charge correlations http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.1758 edit clarification</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1002.1758/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
