Art, Grazyna & Kai: Lots of territory ranging from Plastic Ball (Bevalac & CERN), STAR, many years as RNC Head….
This talk: Focus on 1990s – Bevalac Sci. Director; EOS at Bevalac & AGS; early planning for RHIC.

“It is important to emphasize that the only true signature of collective flow is a clear maximum of dN / d cos1 away from 1 = 0.”

Central collision: 1.8 A GeV Ar + Pb
Plastic Ball: Good statistics; Relatively quick analysis; Complex acceptance (theorists must filter via Art’s SIMDAT.FOR)
Streamer Chamber: Simple, uniform acceptance/efficiency Slow & laborious data analysis; Very small event samples; Poor PID.

Original EOS proposal (1986)by Pugh, Odyniec, Rai, Seidl: Cylindrical TPC, solenoidal magnet (“mini-STAR”)
Less expensive EOS (1988) by Weiman, Rai et al.:Rectangular TPC designed to fit inside existing HISS dipole

1989-90: project funded. Hans Georg came back from CERN to lead the science.

At these energies, there is an out-of-plane enhancement (negative v2).
Unlike at RHIC, the v2 here is stronger in rotated coords.
Elliptic flow can be described as a sinusoidal modulation of the radial velocity, . A single parameter can describe the full pT dependence of elliptic flow.

Region where inel takes off and rises steeply.
Baryon density (by certain measures) peaks near here.
Empirically, many ‘bulk’ observables show transitions in this region.
Some hydro models predict softening due to 1st order PT near here.
Importance of energy regionfrom 2 to ~10 A GeV (fixed target):

holds for Hans Georg himself
Symposium on Collectivity, March 15, 2013 37
This talk was designed to “plug the gaps” in areas the other speakers this afternoon are not going to cover.
Art’s talk will include a wide-ranging list of Hans Georg’s major accomplishments.
This is a summary only – conclusions at this stage would be premature.
Stay tuned for update in 2025, when Hans Georg will reach Art’s age today.
In the meantime: many congratulations & happy (early) birthday, Hans Georg!!
