Directed flow of Identified Charged Particles from the RHIC Beam Energy Scan

Abstract

We present the STAR measurements of directed flow, v1, for π{\pm}, K{\pm}, protons and antiprotons, as well as for all detected charged particles in Au + Au collisions at {\surd}sNN = 7.7, 11.5 and 39 GeV as a function of transverse momentum, rapidity and centrality. Results are compared to the predictions from transport models.
