Recent experimental results from the STAR collaboration suggest
event-by-event charge separation fluctuations perpendicular to the event plane
in non-central heavy-ion collisions. Here we present the correlator previously
used split into its two component parts to reveal correlations parallel and
perpendicular to the event plane. The results are from a high statistics 200
GeV Au+Au collisions data set collected by the STAR experiment at RHIC. We
explicitly count units of charge separation from which we find clear evidence
for more charge separation fluctuations perpendicular than parallel to the
event plane. We also employ a modified correlator to study the possible P-even
background in same and opposite charge correlations.
