Abstract: Collisions of 1.2A GeV Ar on KC1 in the Bevalac Streamer Chamber are studied using two methods:azimuthal distribution analysis and azimuthal correlation function alalysis.Comparing with the Vlasov-Uehling-Uhlenbeck model predictions for different nuclear equations of state,the stiffness of the high density nuclear matter matter is estimated.The maximum azimuthal anisotropy inferred from the azimuthal distribution method is decreased by about 30% because of dispersion of the azimuthal angle of the reaction plane.This distortion can be eliminated by using the azimuthal correlation function analysis proposed in this paper.
