Anisotropy in the azimuthal distribution of the reaction products in heavy-ion collisions is an important observable which, in particular, contains information on the evolution and amplitude of the pressure gradient in the compressed nuclear matter formed in the collision and thus on its equation of state. It was first observed in ultra-relativistic collisions in 1994 [1] and is now considered one...
