Contribution
It introduces a study of initial eccentricity in deformed nucleus collisions using optical Glauber models, focusing on specific nuclear shapes and energies.
Findings
Initial eccentricity varies with nuclear deformation.
Qualitative predictions for RHIC energies are provided.
Differences observed between prolate and oblate nucleus collisions.
Abstract
Initial eccentricity of the interacting volume of QCD matter created in collisions of prolate and oblate nuclei is studied using optical Glauber simulation. Collisions of prolate 165-Ho + 165-Ho nuclei and Au+Au nuclei are investigated (assuming oblate ground-state deformation for 197-Au nucleus). Qualitative predictions are obtained for RHIC energies.
