Abstract
High-precision measurements of flow coefficients vn (n= 1 - 4) for protons, deuterons and tritons relative to the first-order spectator plane have been performed in Au+Au collisions at sNN=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 pt and rapidity ycm 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 v1, dv1/dy′|y′=0 where y′ is the scaled rapidity, and for v2 at mid-rapidity. Scaling with the number of nucleons is observed for the pt dependence of v2 and v4 at mid-rapidity, which is indicative for nuclear coalescence as the main process responsible for light nuclei formation. v2 is found to scale with the initial eccentricity ⟨ ϵ2⟩ , while v4 scales with ⟨ϵ2⟩2 and ⟨ ϵ4⟩. The multi-differential high-precision data on v1, v2, v3, and v4 provides important constraints on the equation-of-state of compressed baryonic matter.
