Emission of charged particles from a compressed reaction zone is studied for ${}_{}{}^{197}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Au}$${+}^{197}$Au collisions at E/A=100, 250, and 400 MeV. Using a modified coalescence invariant weighting, squeeze-out ratios are determined and compared to predictions of cascade and BUU transport-model calculations. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
