A systematic study of the impact parameter dependence is performed for the system Ca+Ca. The balance energy strongly increases with impact parameter. Momentum dependent interactions reduce the balance energies for intermediate impact parameters $b\\approx4.5$ fm. Dynamical negative flow is not visible in the laboratory frame but does exist in the contact frame for the heavy system Au+Au. For semi-peripheral collisions of Ca+Ca with $b\\approx6.5$ fm a new two-component flow is discussed. Azimuthal distributions exhibit strong collectiv flow signals, even at the balance energy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-02-03T12:27:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "disappearance", "momentum dependent interactions reduce", "strong collectiv flow signals", "balance energy strongly increases", "intermediate impact parameters" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
