Observation of strong azimuthal asymmetry between slow and fast particles from high energy nuclear collisions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

Evidence is presented for the strong azimuthal asymmetry between slow and fast fragments in nuclear collisions in the energy interval of 0.4 to 1 GeV per nucleon. The asymmetry gets stronger when incident energy and impact parameter decrease. The results on theA dependence of the azimuthal asymmetry are also presented.
