Abstract

The E895 experiment has undertaken a systematic and exclusive study of Au+Au collisions between 2-8A GeV. Complete event-by-event data were obtained using the EOS time projection chamber (TPC) which provided good particle identification and continuous tracking over almost 4π solid angle. In central Au+Au collisions at 6A GeV, the proton rapidity distribution indicates almost complete stopping, hence high baryon density. We present preliminary results on collective flow observables as a function of beam energy. Data are compared with theoretical predictions.
