Directed Flow of Charged Kaons in Au+Au Collisions from the BES Program at RHIC

We report the measurement of the directed flow ($v_{1}$) for charged kaons in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ =7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4 and 200 GeV as a function of rapidity and compare these results for pions, protons and antiprotons. These new kaon results may help to constrain the medium properties and collision dynamics including the in-medium kaon potential and baryon number transport in these collisions.

Anisotropy results from 193 GeV U+U collisions at RHIC

We report the measurement of azimuthal anisotropy $v_{n}$ for n = 1-5 as a function of transverse momentum $p_{T}$ and centrality in U+U collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 193 GeV, recorded with the STAR detector at RHIC. We also present results on $v_{2}$ and azimuthal correlator related to charge separation across the reaction plane due to local parity violation(LPV) in the ultra-central collisions.

Azimuthal Anisotropy from STAR Experiment

We report the measurement of first (\textit{n} = 1) and higher order(\textit{n} = 2-5) harmonic coefficients ($v_{n}$) of the azimuthal anisotropy in the distribution of the particles produced in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ =200 GeV and U+U collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ =193 GeV, recorded with the STAR detector at RHIC. The differential measurement of $(v_{n})$ is presented as a function of transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) and centrality. We also present $v_{n}$ measurement in the ultra-central collisions in U+U collisions. These data may provide strong constraints on the theoretical models of the initial condition in heavy ion collisions and the transport properties of the produced medium.

Dipole asymmetry at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV Au+Au Collisions from STAR experiment at RHIC

We report the first measurements of azimuthal anisotropy at midrapidity originated from the dipole asymmetry due to fluctuations in the initial geometry in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV, based on data from the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The signal is almost symmetric in pseudorapidity and we report it as a function of pseudorapidity and transverse momentum for different centrality. Results are compared with available model predictions

Beam Energy Dependence of First and Higher Order Flow Harmonics from the STAR Experiment at RHIC

In these proceedings, we present STAR measurements of directed flow, $v_{1}$, for pions, protons and antiprotons between $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7.7$ GeV and 200 GeV. A striking observation is that the $v_1$ slope for net protons as a function of rapidity, $F = dv_1/dy$, which is an estimate of the directed flow contribution from baryon number transported to the midrapidity region, changes sign twice within the lower part of this energy range. We also present the measured beam energy dependence of triangular flow $v_{3}$, and the $n=1$ to $n=5$ flow harmonics for charged particles at 200 GeV.

Third Harmonic Flow of Charged Particles in Au+Au Collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV

In this proceedings, we report measurements of the third harmonic coefficient of the azimuthal anisotropy, $v_{3}$, known as triangular flow. The analysis is for charged particles near midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN}} $ = 200 GeV, based on data from the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Triangular flow as a function of centrality, pseudorapidity and transverse momentum are reported using various methods, including a study of the signal for particle pairs as a function of their pseudorapidity separation. Results are compared with other experiments and model predictions.

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

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.

Beam Energy Dependence of Directed and Elliptic Flow Measurement from the STAR Experiment

Measurements of anisotropic flow in heavy-ion collisions provide insight into the early stage of the system's evolution. This proceedings presents directed and elliptic flow for Au+Au collisions at 39, 11.5 and 7.7 GeV, and for Cu+Cu at 22.4 GeV, measured in the STAR Experiment at RHIC. Differential measurements of directed and elliptic flow of charged particles as a function of centrality, transverse momentum and pseudorapidity are discussed.

The Rise and Fall of the Ridge in Heavy Ion Collisions

Recent data from heavy ion collisions at RHIC show unexpectedly large near-angle correlations that broaden longitudinally with increasing centrality. The amplitude of this ridge-like correlation rises rapidly, reaches a maximum, and then falls in the most central collisions. In this letter we explain how this behavior can be explained as initial-state coordinate-space anisotropies converted into final-state momentum-space correlations. We propose $v_n^2/ε_{n,\mathrm{part}}^{2}$ as a useful way to study length scales and provide a prediction for the ridge in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=$ 2.76 TeV.
