Collective flows of protons and $pi^{-}$-mesons are studied at the momenta of 4.2, 4.5 and 10 AGeV/c for p(C, Ta) and He(Li, C) interactions. The data were obtained from the streamer chamber (SKM-200-GIBS) and from the Propane Bubble Chamber (PBC-500) systems utilized at JINR. The method of Danielewicz and Odyniec has been employed in determining the directed transverse flow of particles. The values of the transverse flow parameter and the strength of the anisotropic emission were defined for each interacting nuclear pair. It is found that the directed flows of protons and pions decrease with increase of the energy and the mass numbers of colliding nucleus pairs. The $pi^{-}$-meson and proton flows exhibit opposite directions in all studied interactions, and the flows of protons are directed in the reaction plane. The Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamical Model (UrQMD), enlarged by the Statistical Multi-fragmentation Model (SMM), satisfactorily describes obtained experimental results.

Azimuthal correlations between the same type of particles (protons or pions) in the target fragmentation region was studied in d, He, C + C, Ta (4.2 AGeV/c), C + Ne, Cu (4.5AGeV/c) and p + C, Ta (10 GeV/c) interactions. The data were obtained from the SKM-200-GIBS streamer chamber and from Propane Bubble Chamber (PBL-500) systems utilized at JINR. Study of multiparticle azimuthal correlations offers unique information about space-time evolution of the interactions. Azimuthal correlations were investigated by using correlation function C($Deltaphi$)=dN/d($Deltaphi$), where $Deltaphi$ represents the angle between the sums of transverse momenta vectors for particles emitted in the forward and backward hemispheres. For protons a back-to back (negative) azimuthal correlations were observed in the above mentioned interactions. The absolute values of the correlation coefficient $|xi|$ -- the slope parameter of C($Deltaphi$), strongly depend on the mass number of the target ($A_T$) nuclei in the nucleon-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. Namely, $|xi|$ -- decreases with increase of $A_T$ in p+C and p+Ta collisions, while $|xi|$ decreases from d+C up to C+Ne and then almost does not change with increase of $A_P$, $A_T$ in (d+He)Ta, C+Cu and C+Ta collisions. For pions a back-to-back correlations were obtained for a light targets (C, Ne), and a side-by-side (positive) correlations for a heavy targets (Cu, Ta). The $|xi|$ insignificantly changes with increase of the momenta per nucleon and almost does not change with increase of $A_P$ and $A_T$. Models, used for description of the data -- the Ultra relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamic (UrQMD) and Quark-Gluon String Model (QGSM), satisfactorily describe the obtained experimental results.
Collective flow of protons and negative pions has been studied within the momentum region of $4.2 div 4.5$ AGeV/c ($E =3.4 div 3.7$ AGeV) for different projectile-target combinations involving carbon and, specifically, He-C, C-C, C-Ne, C-Cu and C-Ta. The data stem from the SKM-200-GIBS streamer chamber and from Propane Bubble Chamber systems utilized at JINR. The directed flow of protons grows dramatically in the carbon region when the counterpart nucleus grows in mass between He and Ta. The elliptic proton flow points out of the reaction plane and also strengthens as system mass increases. Within the reaction plane, the negative pions flow in the same direction as protons for the lighter of the investigated systems, He-C, C-C and C-Ne, and in the opposite direction for the heavier, C-Cu and C-Ta. The Quark-Gluon String Model reproduces observed changes in the flow with system mass.
Features of anisotropic collective flow and spectral temperatures have been determined for lambda hyperons emitted from C + C collisions, at incident momentum of 4.2 AGeV/c, measured using the Propane Bubble Chamber of JINR at Dubna. Moreover, characteristics of protons and of negative pions, emitted from those collisions, have been determined and provided for comparison. The directed and elliptic flows of lambdas both agree in sign with the corresponding flows of protons. Parameters of the directed and elliptic flows for lambdas agree further, within errors, with the corresponding parameters for the co-produced protons. This contrasts an earlier finding by the E895 Collaboration of the directed flow being significantly weaker for lambdas than protons, in the much heavier Au + Au system, at comparable incident momentum. Particle spectral temperatures in the C + C collisions have been determined focusing independently on either center-of-mass energy, transverse energy or transverse momentum distributions. For either protons or negative pions, the temperatures were found to be approximately the same, no matter whether the emission of those particles was associated with lambda production or not. Results of the measurements have been compared to the results of simulations within the Quark-Gluon String Model.
The emission of e+e- pairs from C+C collisions at an incident energy of 1 GeV per nucleon has been investigated. The measured production probabilities, spanning from the pi0-Dalitz to the rho/omega! invariant-mass region, display a strong excess above the cocktail of standard hadronic sources. The bombarding-energy dependence of this excess is found to scale like pion production, rather than like eta production. The data are in good agreement with results obtained in the former DLS experiment.
The use of nuclear transparency effect of pi^{-}-mesons in proton, and deuteron induced interactions with carbon nuclei at 4.2A GeV/c, to get information about the properties of nuclear matter, is presented in this work. Half angle (theta_{1/2}) technique is used to extract information on nuclear transparency effect. The theta_{1/2} divides the multiplicity of charged particles into two equal parts depending on their polar angle in the lab. frame in pp interactions. Particles with angle smaller than (incone particles) and greater than (outcone particles) theta_{1/2} are considered separate. The average values of multiplicity, momentum and transverse momentum of the pi^{-}-mesons are analyzed as a function of a number of identified protons in an event. We observed evidences in the data which could be considered as transparency effect. For quantitative analysis, the results are compared with cascade model. The observed effects are categorized into leading effect transparency and medium effect transparency. The transparency in the latter case could be the reason of collective interactions of grouped nucleons with the incident particles.
