Correlation Studies in O+O Collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{\text {NN}}} = 200\) GeV Using AMPT Model
摘要
Flow measurement in \(^{16}\) O+ \(^{16}\) O collisions is expected to complement the understanding of origins of collectivity in small systems. Furthermore, collisions of \(^{16}\) O nuclei will allow for probing observable signatures of nucleon-nucleon (NN) correlations predicted by nuclear theories. In this work, we study O+O collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{\text {NN}}} = 200\) GeV using A Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) model considering both spherical and clustered nuclear geometries. We investigate the centrality dependence of the eccentricities ( \(\varepsilon _n\) ) and the anisotropic flow coefficients ( \(v_n\) ) characterizing initial spatial and final-state momentum anisotropy, respectively.
