Abstract
High-precision measurements of flow coefficients v n ( n = 1 - 4 ) for protons, deuterons and tritons relative to the first-order spectator plane have been performed in Au+Au collisions at s NN = 2.4 GeV with the High-Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer (HADES) at the SIS18/GSI. Flow coefficients are studied as a function of transverse momentum p t and rapidity y cm over a large region of phase-space and for several classes of collision centrality. A clear mass hierarchy, as expected by relativistic hydrodynamics, is found for the slope of v 1 , d v 1 / d y ′ | y ′ = 0 where y ′ is the scaled rapidity, and for v 2 at mid-rapidity. Scaling with the number of nucleons is observed for the p t dependence of v 2 and v 4 at mid-rapidity, which is indicative for nuclear coalescence as the main process responsible for light nuclei formation. v 2 is found to scale with the initial eccentricity ⟨ ϵ 2 ⟩ , while v 4 scales with ⟨ ϵ 2 ⟩ 2 and ⟨ ϵ 4 ⟩ . The multi-differential high-precision data on v 1 , v 2 , v 3 , and v 4 provides important constraints on the equation-of-state of compressed baryonic matter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
