Description

A kinetic-energy--flow analysis of multiplicity-selected collisions of 93Nb (E/sub lab/ = 400A MeV)+ 93Nb is performed on the basis of the nuclear fluid dynamical model. The effects of finite particle numbers on the flow tensor are explicitly taken into account. Strong sidewards peaks are predicted in dN/d costheta/sub F/, the distribution of event by event flow angles. This is in qualitative agreement with recent data from the ''Plastic Ball'' electronic detection system. Cascade simulations fail to reproduce the data
