Two-particle azimuthal correlations have been used to extract reaction plane dispersion free triple-differential cross sections for d, t, and alpha particles for the midcentral collisions of Kr-84+Au-197 at E/A = 35, 55, and 70 MeV. Both experimental measurements and extrapolations from lower incident energies suggest that rotational flow disappears at E/A approximate to 100 MeV for light charged particles and that reaction plane dispersions introduce large uncertainties in extracting the disappearance of rotational flow.
