Sensitivity of Nuclear Density Profiles on Global Observables in O–O Collisions at the Large Hadron Collider Using AMPT Model

Abstract

Efforts are being made to perform p–O and O–O collisions at the LHC and RHIC energies in order to understand the true origin of flow-like signatures and the applicability of hydrodynamics in small collision systems, the effects of soft QCD dynamics, the sensitivity of jet-like correlations, and non-equilibrium effects. In this analysis, we report the results on Bjorken energy density, kinetic freeze-out parameters, and elliptic flow in O–O collisions at sNN = 7 TeV using a multi-phase transport model (AMPT) for Woods-Saxon, harmonic-oscillator, and α-clustered nuclear charge density profiles. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
