Abstract
We study the transverse expansion in central Pb + Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. Strong collective motion of hadrons can be created. This flow is main ly due to meson baryon rescattering. It allows to study the angular distrib ution of intermediate mass meson baryon interactions. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
