Kinetic energy flow analysis of high-energy heavy-ion collisions: The classical equation of motion approach

The results of a kinetic energy flow analysis carried out on the basis of the classical equation of motion model are presented for the reactions Ne + U, Ca + Ca and Nb + Nb at 400 MeV/nucleon. The model satisfactorily reproduces the global values of the events and the side-splash effect observed in the experiment. The flow angle turned out to be sensitive to the effective NN potential model which parametrizes the compression dynamics.
