Abstract
Transverse momentum distributions are calculated with the Boltzmann equation for different nuclear equations of state and nucleon-nucleon cross sections. Due to the increased importance of compressional potential energy and two-body collisions at higher bombarding energies, the mean transverse momentum changes sign from negative to positive as the bombarding energy is increased above E A =100 MeV. The sensitivity of the mean transverse momentum to the uncertainties in the nucleon-nucleon cross section is comparable to the sensitivity to the nuclear equation of state.
