Directed flow ($v_1$) is a good probe of the early-stage dynamics of collision systems, and the $v_1$ slope at midrapidity ($dv_1/dy|_{y=0}$) is sensitive to the system's equation of state. STAR has published $v_1(y)$ measurements for ten…

Since their discovery, fluctuations in the initial state of heavy-ion collisions have been understood as originating mostly from the random positions of nucleons within the colliding nuclei. We consider an alternative approach where all the…

The directed flow of charged hadron and identified particles has been studied in the framework of a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model, for $^{197}$Au+$^{197}$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$200, 130, 62.4, 39, 17.2 and 9.2 GeV. The…
