Abstract:

RHIC and LHC have injected the light oxygen and neon nuclein heir accelerator complexes with a focus on investigating collectivity and the origin of quark-gluionplasma sgnatures in small coliding ystems. Interestingly, these nuckel are known to possess chusters of a- paricles He inside the nucleus. In this talk we atempl toinvestigate the clustered-nuclear-gonetry dependence of anisotropic flow coefficents such as elliptic ow (2) and triangular fow (3), which are sensitive to theinitial nuclear geometry of colliding nuclei. These results are also compared with those of the Woods Saxon nuclear profile as wel. We also study if lliptic flow measurements, which can constrain the parameters of the proposed a-clustered nuclear density distributions of "O and "Ne at LHIC energies.
