Abstract

The sideward flow in collisions of heavy nuclei in the previously unexplored region between maximum Bevalac/SIS energy and maximum AGS energy was measured. It was found that sideward flow decreases smoothly over the 2A to 8A GeV range. Extrapolations were consistent with existing measurements at both lower and higher beam energies. A new trend of decreasing flow was found to set-in near the low end of the studied beam energy range.
