“…A similar power law behavior for the system size dependence has also been reported for the multiplicity of various types of fragments [5]. The collective transverse in-plane flow has also been investigated extensively during the past three decades and has been found to depend strongly on the combined mass of the system [7] in addition to the incident energy [8,9] as well as collision geometry [9]. The energy dependence of collective transverse in-plane flow has led us to its disappearance.…”

Abstract.We study the effects of system size on the neutron to proton ratio dependence of the energy of vanishing flow for isotopic series of various colliding nuclei. We find a significant effect of the nuclear symmetry energy on the neutron to proton ratio dependence of the energy of vanishing flow throughout the mass range for central as well as peripheral collisions. We find that the neutron to proton ratio dependence of the energy of vanishing flow for isotopic series of heavier system shows more sensitivity to the symmetry energy compared to that for lighter systems and that this sensitivity is enhanced in peripheral collisions. In addition, the mass dependence of the energy of vanishing flow has also been studied for systems having a neutron to proton ratio varying from purely symmetric matter to a highly neutron-rich one.

“…In case of the FOPI data the midrapidity region of ±0.3 of the scaled rapidity has been excluded from the Q-vector to improve the resolution. The INDRA data has been corrected for the effects of momentum conservation [137]. In both cases linear fits have been performed in the range of ±0.4 of the scaled c.m.…”

“…In order to avoid the so called "auto-correlation" effect, the particle of interest is usually removed from the reaction plane determination, and a corrective momentum is added to the momentum of other particles [19,22,23]. In this case, one plane per particle is determined.…”

Sideward flow values have been determined with the INDRA multidetector for Ar+Ni, Ni+Ni and Xe+Sn systems studied at GANIL in the 30 to 100 A.MeV incident energy range. The balance energies found for Ar+Ni and Ni+Ni systems are in agreement with previous experimental results and theoretical calculations. Negative sideward flow values have been measured. The possible origins of such negative values are discussed. They could result from a more important contribution of evaporated particles with respect to the contribution of promptly emitted particles at mid-rapidity. But effects induced by the methods used to reconstruct the reaction plane cannot be totally excluded. Complete tests of these methods are presented and the origins of the "auto-correlation" effect have been traced back. For heavy fragments, the observed negative flow values seem to be mainly due to the reaction plane reconstruction methods. For light charged particles, these negative values could result from the dynamics of the collisions and from the reaction plane reconstruction methods as well. These effects have to be taken into account when comparisons with theoretical calculations are done.
