Particle Production and Flow at SIS Energies
Preprint
- 24 October 1996
Abstract
An overview is given over recent measurements of flow and particle production in the energy range from 0.1 to 2AGeV. Excitation functions for the directed sideward and the azimuthally symmetric transverse flow are presented and show the importance of flow phenomena in this incident energy regime. Rapidity density distributions are indicative of a system size dependence of the stopping process. The role of strange particles as a probe for the hot and dense phase of hadronic matter is discussed with respect to the production and propagation. The spectra of Kaons indicate an equilibration with the surrounding baryons during the expansion while their directed flow pattern is different from that of the nucleons.Keywords
