Abstract

The fluid dynamical model is used to study the reactions Ne20+U238 and Ar40+Ca40 at Elab=390 MeV/nucleon. The calculated double differential cross sections d2σdΩdE exhibit sidewards maxima in agreement with recent experimental data. The azimuthal dependence of the triple differential distributions, to be obtained from an event-by-event analysis of 4π exclusive experiments, can yield deeper insight into the collision process: Jets of nuclear matter are predicted with a strongly impact-parameter-dependent thrust angle θjet(b).
