Description
Elliptic flow as measured in heavy-ion collisions has proven to be very effective in constraining nuclear matter equation of state at supra-saturation densities. In particular neutron-to-proton and neutron-to-charged particles elliptic flow ratio in Au+Au at 400 MeV/nucleon collisions, measured at GSI in FOPI-LAND and ASY-EOS experiments, have allowed to investigate the symmetry energy behavior up to about 1.5 $\rho_0$. Our future plans foresee the measure of the neutron-to-proton elliptic flow ratio excitation function in Au+Au collisions at GSI from 250 to 800 MeV/nucleon. This will allow to extend the studies toward higher densities than before and to get more precise constraints. The obtainable results, in conjunction to the novel ones coming from multi-messenger astronomy, could be of great importance in the field.
