Abstract: (arXiv)

This paper reports results for directed flow

v_{1}

and elliptic flow

v_{2}

of charged particles in Cu+Cu collisions at

\sqrt{s_{NN}}=

22.4 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The measurements are for the 0-60% most central collisions, using charged particles observed in the STAR detector. Our measurements extend to 22.4 GeV Cu+Cu collisions the prior observation that

v_1

is independent of the system size at 62.4 and 200 GeV, and also extend the scaling of

v_1

with

\eta/y_{\rm beam}

to this system. The measured

v_2(p_T)

in Cu+Cu collisions is similar for

\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 22.4-200

GeV. We also report a comparison with results from transport model (UrQMD and AMPT) calculations. The model results do not agree quantitatively with the measured

v_1(\eta), v_2(p_T)

and

v_2(\eta)

.
