Description

We present data on collective flow of neutrons in collisions of 197Au+197Au at 400 MeV/nucleon. The azimuthal distribution about the beam axis is investigated with respect to the reaction plane as determined from light charged particles. The 'squeeze-out' of neutrons, perpendicular to the reaction plane, is observed for the first time. Quantitative agreement to a high level of accuracy is found between the behaviour of neutrons and hydrogen ions. (orig.)
