Abstract

A sign reversal of the directed flow parameter v1 in the central rapidity region in Au+Au collisions at s =200~AGeV is predicted. This anti-flow is shown to be linked to the expansion of the hot matter created. In line with this observation the predicted elliptic flow parameter v2 of various particle species is predicted and linked to the mean free path of these particles.
