Simulations show that a new time-of-flight neutron detector with 121 scintillator cells per layer and two layout options can identify and reconstruct neutrons from Bi+Bi collisions at 3A GeV with about 70% purity and roughly 1e9 events per month.

abstract
Proton elliptic flow is studied as a function of impact-parameter $b$, for two transverse momentum cuts in 2 - 6 AGeV Au + Au collisions. The elliptic flow shows an essentially linear dependence on b (for $1.5 < b < 8$ fm) with a negative slope at 2 AGeV, a positive slope at 6 AGeV and a near zero slope at 4 AGeV. These dependencies serve as an important constraint for discriminating between various equations of state (EOS) for high density nuclear matter, and they provide important insights on the interplay between collision geometry and the expansion dynamics. Extensive comparisons of the measured and calculated differential flows provide further evidence for a softening of the EOS between 2 and 6 GeV/nucleon.

The Highly-Granular Time-of-Flight Neutron Detector for the BM@N experiment
Simulations show that a new time-of-flight neutron detector with 121 scintillator cells per layer and two layout options can identify and reconstruct neutrons from Bi+Bi collisions at 3A GeV with about 70% purity and roughly 1e9 events per month.
