Flow coefficients in O-O Al-Al and Cu-Cu collisions at 200 GeV in the fusing color string model

TL;DR

This paper studies flow coefficients in light nucleus collisions at 200 GeV using the color string percolation model, providing predictions that differ slightly from other models but follow similar centrality dependence.

Contribution

It offers new predictions for flow coefficients in O-O, Al-Al, and Cu-Cu collisions at RHIC energies within the color string percolation framework.

Findings

Predicted v2 values are slightly smaller than other models.

Predicted v3 values are intermediate compared to other predictions.

Flow dependence on collision centrality is consistent with existing trends.

Abstract

In view of the planning experiments for collisions of light nuclei at RHIC the flow coefficients for O-O, Al-AL and Cu-Cu collisions are studied in the color string percolation model. Our results for $v_2$ are somewhat smaller than predicted by other groups although with the same dependence on centrality. Our obtained $v_3$ lie between predictions of other groups.
