Abstract
For near central collisions of Nb on Nb at a laboratory energy of 650 MeV per projectile nucleon we calculate inclusive cross sections as a function of the azimuthal angle where this angle is measured from the reaction plane. The azimuthal dependence is strongly influenced by the nuclear equation of state and is a useful quantity to measure.Keywords
