Description
Triangular flow in heavy-ion collisions, $v_{3}$, represents the third harmonic coefficient in the Fourier expansion of the azimuthal distribution of produced particles relative to the collision event plane. Since $v_{3}$ is sensitive to initial fluctuations of nucleons, it serves as a valuable tool for studying the fluctuations of the early initial conditions of the system and the subsequent evolution process.
Using the RHIC-STAR Beam Energy Scan dataset, we will present measurements of $ v_{3} $ for $\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, $p$, $\bar{p}$, $\Lambda$, $\bar{\Lambda}$, $K^{0}_{S}$, $\Xi^{-}$, $\bar{\Xi}^{+}$, $\Omega^{-}$, $\bar{\Omega}^{+}$ and $ \phi $ mesons in $ Au + Au$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} $= 17.3 GeV. We will discuss the centrality dependence of $v_{3}$ as well as the number of constituent quark scaling (NCQ scaling) for all the particles mentioned above.
