“…1). The transverse flow parameter F=d< P x >/d(y) ─ slope of the average momentum at the intersection point y=y c [19], has been extracted ( Table 1). Since the component Px of a particle momentum in the true reaction plane is systematically larger than the component Px' in the estimated plane, we have to correct our data for the resolution of the reaction plane.…”

“…The collective flows of nucleons, pions and nuclear fragments discovered in [16][17][18][19] are well established in collisions of heavy nuclei (see for a review Refs. [20,21], and the Part V of [8]).…”

Mean-field effects on collective flow in high-energy heavy-ion collisions at 2–158AGeV energies

“…To distinguish the momentum and the density dependences, we need to invoke heavy-ion collision data over a wide incident energy range. We now have systematic collective flow data at various incident energies from the LBNL Bevalac [10][11][12], GSI Schwerionen Synchrotron (SIS) [13][14][15], MSU NSCL [16], BNL Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) [17][18][19][20][21], CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) [22][23][24], and BNL RHIC [37].…”

Collective Flow Measured with the Plastic Ball

“…8 the multiplicity averaged flow would be plotted instead of the maximum, then one would find a slight fall-off at beam energies above 650 MeV per nucleon, as reported in Ref. [29]. This difference is mainly due to the increasing contribution of peripheral reactions.…”
