Abstract
Two-particle azimuthal correlations have been used to extract reaction plane dispersion free triple-differential cross sections for d, t, an d alpha particles for the midcentral collisions of Kr-84+Au-197 at E/A = 35, 55, and 70 MeV. Both experimental measurements and extrapolatio ns from lower incident energies suggest that rotational flow disappear s at E/A approximate to 100 MeV for light charged particles and that r eaction plane dispersions introduce large uncertainties in extracting the disappearance of rotational flow.
