Abstract
Lambda flow in Ni+Ni collisions at SIS energies is studied in the relativistic transport model (RVUU 1.0). It is found that for primordial lambdas the flow is considerably weaker than proton flow. The inclusion of final-state interactions, especially the propagation of lambdas in mean-field potential, brings the lambda flow close to that of protons. An accurate determination of lambda flow in heavy-ion experiments is shown to be very useful for studying lambda properties in dense matter.
