Abstract

For Pb+Pb collisions at 40 A GeV energy, we calculate the side-ward and elliptic differential flow of protons in the microscopic relativistic transport simulation model. We compare our results with the recent data from the NA49 Collaboration as a function of transverse momenta, rapidity and centrality. We find that the side-ward and elliptic flow agree reasonably well with the experimental data with and without momentum-dependent potentials in the simulation model.
