Abstract
Anisotropic transverse flow has been studied with a magnetic spectrome ter at mid-rapidity and the Plastic Ball detector at target rapidity i n the WA98 experiment. Our preliminary results show the existence of d irected and elliptic flow in semi-central Pb+Pb collisions. The magnit ude of the directed flow is found to be significantly smaller than tho se observed at the AGS energies.
