Abstract
The predictions of a variety of current theoretical models of high-energy nuclear collisions are compared with recent experimental data for central collisions of on at MeV/u. The experimental observation of broad sideward maxima in the angular distributions of low- and medium-energy protons is reproduced by a nuclear fluid-dynamical calculation with final freezeout of the protons. In contrast, the current intranuclear-cascade and simplified collision models predict forward-peaked angular distributions.
