Abstract: (Elsevier)
The sign reversal of the directed flow parameter v 1 in the central rapidity region in Au+Au collisions at s =200 A GeV is studied within the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics Model. This anti-flow is shown to be linked to the expansion of the hot matter created. In line with this observation the predicted elliptic flow parameter v 2 of various particle species is linked to the mean free path of these particles.- 25.75.-q
