Abstract: The azimuthal angle distributions of neutral pions at midrapidity from Au+Au reactions at 1 GeV/nucleon incident energy have been measured. An enhanced emission of [pi][sup 0]'s perpendicular to the reaction plane is observed. The azimuthal asymmetry is dependent on the [pi][sup 0] momentum: the [pi][sup 0] spectrum perpendicular to the reaction plane is harder than in the reaction plane. The strength of the observed asymmetry appears to be more pronounced for [pi][sup 0] than for charged particles and neutrons.
