STAR Flow, Chirality and Vorticity PWG

[subhash <subhash AT rcf.rhic.bnl.gov>]

Dear Zuowen, Nu, All,

Also in Bozek's paper (PhysRevC.81.054902) it is mentioned: "The 
directed flow is expected to decrease with the collision energy for two 
reasons. With increasing kinematic range of rapidities the tilt of the 
source goes down, also the contribution of binary collisions to the 
Glauber Model density is believed to increase with the energy, with a 
similar consequence"

The suggested sentence from Nu is good. Can you make the modifications 
at lines 64 and 87.

Thanks and regards,
Subhash
