Study of global observables in O-O collisions at (Formula presented) TeV using a transport model

Abstract

Recent investigations suggest that QGP droplets may also form in small collision systems, such as high-multiplicity pp collisions. With the upcoming O-O collisions at the LHC, we have a timely opportunity to explore phenomena similar to those observed in high-multiplicity pp and p-Pb collisions in a system with a comparable number of participating nucleons. In this work, we present results on global properties such as Bjorken energy density, speed of sound, and kinetic freeze-out parameters in O-O collisions at (Formula presented) TeV using the AMPT model with Woods–Saxon, harmonic oscillator, and α-cluster nuclear density profiles. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd.
