Abstract
Systematic results are presented on proton, deuteron, and triton emiss ion from the target spectator region in collisions of 10.20A GeV gold projectiles with a gold target. A forward hodoscope utilizes detection of projectile spectator fragments to determine the orientation of the reaction plane, event by event. The directed flow (p(x)) is determine d as a function of pseudorapidity. Projectile spectator energy is used to estimate impact parameters. Results are compared to current theore tical models ARC, ART, and RQMD. In all cases good agreement with theo ry is obtained for calculations utilizing a pure cascade without nucle ar potential contributions.
