  "abstract": "Our investigation focuses on the rapidity-dependent directed flow, $v_1(y)$, of identified hadrons in Au+Au collisions across a broad range of $\\sqrt{s_{\\rm NN}}$ from 7.7 to 200 GeV. Employing a (3+1)-dimensional hybrid framework, our study successfully reproduces the characteristic features of the measured $v_1(y)$ for both mesons and baryons across the considered beam energies. Notably, our analysis reveals the constraining power of baryonic $v_1(y)$ on the initial baryon stopping mechanism. Together with mesonic $v_1(y)$, the directed flow serves as a crucial tool for probing the equation of state governing dense nuclear matter at finite chemical potentials.",
