Description

The STAR collaboration has made an extensive set of flow measurements for Au+Au collisions spanning the collision energy range of 7.7 - 200 GeV in beam energy scan I (BES - I). Differential results for the n$^{th}$ harmonic coefficients $v_{n}\{2\}$, used to characterize the flow magnitudes, will be presented for charged hadrons measured at mid and forward rapidity ($\eta < 1$ and $ 2.5 < \eta < 4$) with a pseudorapidity separation $\Delta\eta>0.7$. The use of these measurements to understand aspects of the reaction dynamics and the QCD phase diagram will also be discussed.
