Description
Extensive investigations on Pb+Pb and Au+Au collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have helped us to produce and comprehend the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions. Recent investigations hint toward the possible formation of QGP-droplets in small collision systems such as high-multiplicity pp collisions. Oxygen-oxygen (O-O) collisions are expected in the forthcoming Run3 at the LHC. This will provide a significant and timely opportunity to investigate the effects seen in high-multiplicity pp and p-Pb collisions with a system that has a similarly small number of participating nucleons and final-state multiplicity but with a larger geometrical transverse overlap, thereby enhancing jet-quenching effects, which depend on path length. In this work, we implement both harmonic oscillator and Woods-Saxon type density profiles for the oxygen nucleus. Also, an alpha-cluster tetrahedral structure is incorporated for oxygen. We report the results of global properties such as Bjorken energy density, speed of sound, kinetic freeze-out parameters, particle ratios, and elliptic flow in O+O collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7 TeV from a multi-phase transport model (AMPT) for these nuclear charge density profiles. Such a study will help us understand the effects of nuclear density profiles on the said global observables and give us a fair baseline measurement to confront the experimental results in the future.
