Elliptic flow of Kaons and Antikaons in heavy-ion collisions at SIS energies. — •Mateusz Płoskoń — Institut für Kernphysik, Universität Frankfurt, Germany

The collective flow of kaons and antikaon has been measured in Ni+Ni and Au+Au collisions at beam energies between 1 and 2 AGeV with the Kaon Spectrometer at GSI Darmstadt. The investigation of the azimuthal angular emission pattern of K⁺ and K⁻ mesons provides a unique possibility to address the questions of strangeness production mechanisms and the in-medium Kaon-Nucleon potentials at SIS energies[1]. The experimental data are presented and compared to various recent model calculations[2].
