  "abstract": "We investigate the different contributions to the in-plane flow of K+ mesons observed recently by the FOPI collaboration in the reaction Ni(1.93 AGeV)+Ni. Due to the kinematics of the three body phase space decay the flow of kaons produced in baryon-baryon interactions is smaller than that of the baryons in the entrance channel. On the contrary, in pi N interactions the flow of the sources and of the kaons are identical. Therefore the total kaon flow depends on the relative number of Delta N -> K+ and pi N -> K+ reactions and hence on the lifetime of the Delta, in addition to the already known dependence on the potential interaction interaction of the kaons with the nuclear environment.",
