Description

Azimuthal distributions of fragments with respect to the reaction plane are studied in the Ar+V system as a function of beam energy. Light charged particles are found to exhibit an enhanced emission in the reaction plane which increases with the mass of the detected particle. As the beam energy is increased, the asymmetry decreases. Possible mechanisms behind the asymmetry, such as rotational collective motion and directed transverse momentum, are discussed
