Abstract
We analyse relativistic effects in transverse momentum using quantum molecular dynamics and its covariant extension, relativistic quantum molecular dynamics. The strength of the relativistic effects is found to increase with the bombarding energy and with an averaged impact parameter. The variation in the intensity of the relativistic effects with variation in the mass of the colliding nuclei is not systematic. Furthermore, the hard equation of state is affected drastically by the relativistic effects, whereas the soft equation of state is affected less. Our analysis shows that up to the bombarding energy of 1 GeV/nucl., the influence of relativistic effects is small, whereas at higher energies relativistic effects become naturally very important.
