Abstract
Using FOPI data on elliptic flow in Au + Au collisions between 0.4 and 1.5A GeV1.5A GeV we extract constraints for the equation of state (EOS) of compressed symmetric nuclear matter using the transport code IQMD by introducing an observable describing the evolution of the size of the elliptic flow as a function of rapidity. This observable is sensitive to the nuclear EOS and a robust tool to constrain the compressibility of nuclear matter up to 3ρ03ρ0.
