Analyzed $p_T$ dependence of $v_2$ across centralities.

Abstract

In this article, we report on the predictions of $v_2$, $v_3$ and $v_4$ for charged hadrons in O+O collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}~=~7$~TeV using both AMPT-default and AMPT-String Melting. These predictions are compared with the existing published data of $p+p$, $p+Pb$, and $Pb+Pb$ collisions at LHC energies. The transverse momentum ($p_T$) dependence of $v_2$ is also investigated for different centrality classes. $O+O$ collisions provide a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between small and large collision systems, offering critical insight into the onset of collective behavior in QCD matter.
