Abstract
An analysis of data of pions emitted from ultra-relativistic nuclear intera ctions initiated by O-16-AgBr at 60 GeV/nucleon and S-32-AgBr at 200 GeV/nu cleon reveals the existence of emission asymmetry in the azimuthal plane wh ich is found to depend on the number of pions but to be nearly independent of projectile mass and energy.
