Background and Motivation• Objective: to investigate the
density dependence of the symmetry energy
• Symmetry Energy for asymmetric nuclear matter poorly constrained at high densities
• Important for understanding physics in neutron stars and supernovae

The ASYEOS Experiment• How do you study high density
nuclear matter in the laboratory– Heavy Ion Collisions at
intermediate energies used to produce a high density region
• Investigated the systems – 197Au-197Au, 96Ru-96Ru and 96Zr-96Zr @ 400AMeV
• Elliptic flow of protons and neutrons will be measured

Proton and Neutron Flow• Neutron/proton elliptic
flow ratio is predicted to be sensitive to the the symmetry energy

LANDSketch of Detector anda single paddle unit
LAND Timing Electronics use a timing system which has a 40MHz clock cycle

Status of Analysis• Reaction plane has
been determined using CHIMERA and Microball
• A fault in some new electronics on LAND has delayed the analysis
• Preliminary values of v2 have been determined for protons
• Neutron v2’s will follow after LAND data has been corrected

Summary
• Preliminary determination of reaction plane and v2 have been completed
• The problem with the LAND timing electronics has delayed the analysis
• Corrections to the LAND data are well underway and should allow recovery of vast majority of the corrupted data
