Abstract

The reaction plane of high-multiplicity Au-Au collisions at 650, 400, 250, 150, and 75 MeV/nucleon was determined by measuring the transverse velocity of charged fragments. Measurements of the collective flow of charged fragments reveal that the onset of flow in high-multiplicity Au-Au collisions occurs at a finite beam energy below 60 MeV/nucleon.
