Radial, sideward and elliptic flow at AGS energies

Radial, sideward and elliptic flow at AGS energies

Flow Phenomena at Ags Energies

In this talk some of the latest data on directed sideward, elliptic, radial, and longitudinal flow at AGS energies will be reviewed. A method to identify the reaction plane event by event and the measurement of its resolution will be discussed. The distributions of global observables (transverse energy ET and charged particle multiplicity Nc), as well as those of identified particles will be sh...

Neutral strange particle production and flow at AGS energies

In recent experiments at the AGS, the E895 Collaboration has made detailed measurements of neutral strange particles (Ks and 3) over a broad range of incident energies and impact parameters for the Au + Au system. Preliminary results are presented for the production yields and the sidewards flow of these particles. The production yields show relatively good agreement with existing systematics. ...

Flow at AGS Energies: A Barometer for High Density Effects?

Preliminary data on transverse energy ‘flow’ and event asymmetries reported by the E877(814) collaborations are compared to ARC model calculations for Au+Au at full AGS beam energy. ARC triple differential cross-sections for protons and pions are presented. Proton flow is produced in ARC, with the maximum 〈Px〉 ∼ 120MeV/c. For central events 〈Px〉 for the pions is near zero, consistent with exper...

Baryon flow from SIS to AGS energies

We analyze the baryon sideward and elliptic flow from SIS (0.25 ∼ 2 AGeV) to AGS (2 ∼11.0AGeV) energies for Au + Au collisions in the relativistic transport model RBUU that includes all baryon resonances up to a mass of 2 GeV as well as string degrees of freedom for the higher mass continuum. There are two factors which dominantly determine the baryon flow at these energies: the momentum depend...
