On the elliptical flow in asymmetric collisions and nuclear equation of state
We here present the results of elliptical flow for the collision of different
asymmetric nuclei (10Ne20 +13 Al27, 18Ar40 +21 Sc45, 30Zn64 +28 Ni58, 36Kr86
+41 Nb93) by using the Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD) model. General features
of elliptical flow are investigated with the help of theoretical simulations.
The simulations are performed at different beam energies between 40 and 105
MeV/nucleon. A significant change can be seen from in-plane to out-of-plane
elliptical flow of different fragments with incident energy. A comparison with
experimental data is also made. Further, we predict, for the first time that,
elliptical flow for different kind of fragments follow power law dependence ?

First analysis of anisotropic flow with Lee--Yang zeroes
We report on the first analysis of directed and elliptic flow with the new
method of Lee--Yang zeroes. Experimental data are presented for Ru+Ru reactions
at 1.69 AGeV measured with the FOPI detector at SIS/GSI. The results obtained
with several methods, based on the event-plane reconstruction, on Lee--Yang
zeroes, and on multi-particle cumulants (up to 5th order) applied for the first
time at SIS energies, are compared. They show conclusive evidence that
azimuthal correlations between nucleons and composite particles at this energy
are largely dominated by anisotropic flow.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. C Rapid Co
Azimuthally sensitive correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions
Borghini N, Ollitrault JY. Azimuthally sensitive correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Physical Review C. 2004;70(6): 064905.We define a set of model-independent observables which generally characterize the azimuthal dependence of two-particle correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions. We explain how they can be analyzed, and show to what extent such analyses are model dependent. We discuss specific applications to the anisotropic flow of decaying particles, azimuthally sensitive Hanbury-Brown Twiss interferometry, and correlations between particles at large transverse momentum. A quantitative prediction is made for jet quenching with respect to the reaction plane
