Title:	Collapse and Reappearance of Flow
Abstract:	We propose flow-related observables as signals for the onset of deconfinement. Current investigations are presented which connect the critical endpoint of the deconfinement phase transition (as predicted from lattice QCD) to the Hi-mu-RHIC and/or CBM@FAIR domain. Besides fluctuations in energy density and elliptic flow (v2), we especially predict the collapse of directed flow (v1) at intermediate energies, i.e., particularly at the Hi-mu-RHIC and CBM at FAIR. In addition, the classic idea of Mach cones for asymmetric collisions is revived and measurements of the Mach cone angle are suggested to determine the speed of sound in both, nuclear matter and Quark Gluon Plasma.
