We know that some of the Weyl semimetals show negative magnetoresistance in presence of parallel electric and magnetic fields, which is indicative of the chiral anomaly due to Weyl fermions. But there are other negative linear magnetoresistance (NMLR) phenomena like NLMR in magnetic materials, NLMR due to geometry or size effects of the samples (current-jetting effect), NMLR in quantum limit etc. How to differentiate these NLMR phenomena with the chiral anomaly induced NLMR phenomena ( Adler–Bell–Jackiw chiral anomaly) in a Weyl semimetal?
