D. Ghosh et al., ANALYSIS OF P(T) SPECTRUM OF PROJECTILE FRAGMENTS IN HEAVY-ION INTERACTIONS - IDENTIFICATION OF COLLECTIVE FLOW OF NUCLEAR-MATTER, Nuovo cimento della Società Italiana di Fisica. A. Nuclei, particles and fields, 107(9), 1994, pp. 1517-1521
Transverse-momentum data of the projectile fragments are analysed to i
dentify the presence of collective flow of nuclear matter in symmetric
(O-16-CNO at 2.1A GeV and C-12-CNO at 4.5A GeV/c)d and asymetric (Mg-
24-AgBr at 4.5A GeV/c) heavy-ion interactions, adapting the method pro
posed by Danielewicz and Odyniec. A comparison of the data with Monte-
Carlo-simulated values gives a positive indication of collective flow
in each case.
