Abstract：
Collisions of 1.2 A GeV Ar on KCI in the Bevalac Streamer Chamber are studied using two methods:azimuthal distribution analysis and azimuthal correlation function analysis. Comparing with VUU (Vlasov-Uehling-Uhlenbeck) model predictions for different nuclear equations of state, the stiffness of the high density nuclear matter is estimated. The maximum azimuthal anisotropy inferred from the azimuthal distribution method is decreased by about 30% because of dispersion of the azimuthal angle of the reaction plane. This distortion can be eliminated by using the azimuthal correlation function analysis proposed in this paper.
