Beam energy dependence of the anisotropic flow coefficients v$_n$

Nuclear Experiment 2018-01-25 v1

Abstract

Recent STAR measurements of the anisotropic flow coefficients, vn_{n}, are presented for Au+Au collisions spanning the beam energy range sNN=7.7200\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7.7 - 200~GeV. The measurements indicate dependences on harmonic number, nn, transverse momentum (pTp_T), pseudorapidity (η\eta), collision centrality (cent\mathrm{cent}) and beam energy (sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}}) which could serve as important constraints to test different initial-state models and to aid precision extraction of the temperature dependence of the specific shear viscosity.
