Description

The reaction Au+Au at 400 MeV/nucleon is analyzed in the coordinate system given by the principal axes of the kinetic energy flow ellipsoid. In addition to the previously observed side-splash and bounce-off we find a pronounced component perpendicular to the reaction plane at mid-rapidity both in position- and momentum-space. The anisotropy is investigated as a function of multiplicity and is found to be most prominent for semi-central collisions. (orig.)
