Collision Results at Different Energies

Caption

For each collision energy in the beam energy scan, the central panel shows an early-time snapshot of the coordinates of quarks emerging from a deuteron-gold (d-Au) collision as simulated in a transport-model theory calculation. The right panel shows the elliptic flow of the final-state hadrons as measured by PHENIX (closed points), along with the prediction from the theory (solid curve).
