Elliptic flow in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energy: The role of impact parameter, mean field potential, and collision term

Within the ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) model, by reversely tracing nucleons that are finally emitted at mid-rapidity (|y0| < 0.1) in the entire reaction process, the time evolution of elliptic flow (v2) of these traced nucleons is studied in Au+Au collisions at beam energ...
