Using a relativistic hadron transport model, we investigate the utility of elliptic flow excitation function as probe for stiffness nuclear matter and onset possible quark-gluon-plasma phase transition at alternating-gradient synchrotron energies $1\ensuremath{\lesssim}{E}_{\mathrm{beam}}\ensuremath{\lesssim}11A\mathrm{GeV}$. The shows strong dependence on equation state, exhibits characteristic signatures which could signal transition.

Rapidity distributions of protons from central ${}^{197}\mathrm{Au}{+}^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ collisions measured by the E895 Collaboration in energy range $(2--8)A\mathrm{GeV}$ at Brookhaven AGS are presented. Longitudinal flow parameters derived using a thermal model including collective longitudinal expansion extracted these distributions. The results show an approximately linear increase velocity, $〈\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\gamma}{〉}_{L}$, as function logarithm beam energy.

The mechanism of the reaction $^{27}\mathrm{Al}(^{16}\mathrm{O}, ^{12}\mathrm{C}\ensuremath{\alpha})^{27}\mathrm{Al}$ at 65.6-MeV incident energy has been examined with use coincidence techniques. It is shown that broad bell-shaped peak observed in $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ singles spectra corresponds to an $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-transfer-like process leading fixed excitation $\ensuremath{\alpha}$+$^{27}\mathrm{Al}$ system. $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-$^{12}\mathrm{C}$ angular correlation, however,...

Robot-assisted training is a promising tool under development for improving walking function based on repetitive goal-oriented task practice. The challenges in developing the controllers gait devices that promote desired changes complicated by limited understanding of human response to robotic input. A possible method controller formulation can be principle bio-inspiration, where robot controlled apply change joint moment applied subjects when they achieve feature interest. However, it...

We present the first excitation function of pi(-) intensity interferometry at Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) energies (2-8 A GeV). The sensitivity multidimensional correlation functions to geometry and dynamics pion-emitting system provides a stringent test transport models heavy ion collisions. Detailed comparisons with realistic model, both without an explicit nuclear mean field, suggest that beam energy evolution in reaction is different model than data. significantly increased...

The ($^{3}\mathrm{He},d$), reaction cross sections on $^{90,92,94}\mathrm{Zr}$ and $^{92,94,96,98}\mathrm{Mo}$ targets have been measured to unbound isobaric analog states. All expected transitions are observed except those $3{s}_{\frac{1}{2}}$ states which inhibited. Distorted-wave Born approximation calculations do not explain the anomaly. Other possible explanations suggested.
