Abstract

We report results of v1v_1 and v2v_2 for identified hadrons (π±,K±,KS0,p,ϕ\pi^{\pm}, K^{\pm}, K_{S}^{0}, p, \phi and Λ\Lambda) from Au+Au collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 3 GeV and v2v_2 for π±,K±,p\pi^{\pm}, K^{\pm}, p and pˉ\bar{p} at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 27 and 54.4 GeV using the STAR detector at RHIC. In Au+Au collisions at high energies, one finds that the values of v2v_2 are all positive and the number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) scaling holds. On the other hand, results from collisions at 3 GeV, the midrapidity v2v_2 is negative for all hadrons and NCQ scaling is absent. In addition, the midrapidity v1v_1 slopes for all hadrons are found to be positive. Furthermore, the features of negative v2v_2 and positive v1v_1 slope at 3 GeV can be reproduced by calculations with baryonic mean-field potential in transport model. These results imply that in 3 GeV Au+Au collisions, the medium is characterized by baryonic interactions.
