Selection of special orientations in relativistic collisions of deformed heavy nuclei

TL;DR

This paper investigates how to select specific orientations in relativistic uranium-uranium collisions at high energy, using simulation models to identify events with particular geometric configurations based on measurable quantities.

Contribution

It demonstrates that central tip-tip and body-body collision events can be effectively distinguished using cuts on multiplicity and flow vector magnitude in simulations.

Findings

Tip-tip and body-body events can be separated based on multiplicity.

Flow vector magnitude helps identify collision orientations.

Simulation models successfully reproduce orientation-dependent signatures.

Abstract

We have studied U+U collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV using Monte Carlo Glauber, UrQMD and AMPT models. We find that it is possible to separate central tip-tip events as well as central body-body events on the basis of cuts on multiplicity and magnitude of the reduced flow vector.
