Strange particle measurements from the EOS TPC
A high statistics sample of {Lambda}`s produced in 2 GeV/nucleon {sup 5}8Ni + {sup nat}Cu collisions has been obtained with the EOS Time Projection Chamber at the Bevalac. The coverage of the EOS TPC is essentially 100% for y > y{sub cm} and extends down to P{sub T} = 0 where interesting effects such as collective radial expansion may be important. In addition, the detection of a majority of the charged particles in the TPC, along with the presence of directed flow for protons and heavier fragments at this beam energy, allows for the correlation of A production with respect to the event reaction plane. Our preliminary analysis indicates the first observation of a sidewards flow signature for A`s. Comparisons with the cascade code ARC are made.
