Sideward Flow in Au + Au Collisions Between 2A GeV and 8A GeV

Using the large acceptance Time Projection Chamber of experiment E895 at Brookhaven, measurements of collective sideward flow in Au + Au collisions at beam energies of 2, 4, 6 and 8A GeV are presented in the form of in-plane transverse momentum and the first Fourier coefficient of azimuthal anisotropy v_1. These measurements indicate a smooth variation of sideward flow as a function of beam energy. The data are compared with four nuclear transport models which have an orientation towards this energy range. All four exhibit some qualitative trends similar to those found in the data, although none shows a consistent pattern of agreement within experimental uncertainties.

Revisiting "swings" in the crossover features of Ising thin films near Tc(D)

"Swing" effects at the onset of crossover towards two dimensional behavior in thin Ising films are investigated close to Tc(D) by means of Monte Carlo calculations. We find that the effect is extremely large for the specific heat effective critical exponent, in comparison with the "swing" already noted by Capehart and Fisher for the susceptibility. These effects change considerably the system's evolution with thickness (D) from two-dimensional to three-dimensional behavior, forcing the effective exponents to pass near characteristic Tri Critical Point (TCP) values.
