Abstract: We employ here a Relativistic Transport (ART) Model for Uranium $+$ Uranium collisions at Eb=0.52GeV/u. We study the impact parameter, rapidity and transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow v2 for nucleons and pions in two extreme orientation UU collisions. It indicates that elliptic flow of nucleons and pions are always out-of plane as a result of squeeze-out effect. The maximal absolute value of elliptic flow, which is about 12%, appears in body-body certral UU collisons when the initial spatial anisotropy reach the maximum. In minibias events, the magnitudes of elliptic flow are similar for mid-rapidity nucleons in tip-tip and body-body UU collisions, but which is smaller for mid-rapidity pions in tip-tip. Nucleons and pions are produced primarily by Δ decay at low transverse momentum and by participator rescattering at high transverse momentum. Thus, elliptic flow in tip-tip and body-body are similar and have a visible drop in higher transverse momentum (Pt>0.3GeV/c) as a result of spectators rescatterings and reabsorbtionas.
