Study of charged particle production in $U$-$U$ collisions in a Wounded Quark Model

Abstract

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the study of deformed uranium-uranium ($U$-$U$) collisions in its various geometrical configurations due to their usefulness in understanding the different aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In this paper we have studied the particle production in deformed $U$-$U$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = $193$ GeV using modified wounded quark model (WQM). At first, we have shown the variation of quark-nucleus inelastic scattering cross-section (${\sigma }_{qA}^{in}$) with respect to centralities for various geometrical orientations of $U$-$U$ collisions in WQM. After that we have calculated the pseudorapidity density ($d{n}_{ch}/d\eta$) within WQM using two-component prescription. Further we have calculated the transverse energy density distribution ($d{E}_T/d\eta$) along with the ratio of transverse energy to charged hadron multiplicity ($E_T/N_{ch}$) for $U$-$U$ collisions and compared them with the corresponding experimental data. We have shown the scaling behavior of $d{n}_{ch}/d\eta$ and $d{E}_T/d\eta$ for different initial geometry of $U$-$U$ collision with respect to $p$-$p$ data at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. Furthermore we have shown the Bjorken energy density achieved in $U$-$U$ collisions for various configurations and compared them with experimental data of $Au$-$Au$ at 200 GeV. We observe that the present model suitably describes the experimental data for minimum bias geometrical configuration of $U$-$U$ collisions. An estimate for various observables in different initial geometries of $U$-$U$ collisions is also presented which will be tested in future by experimental data.
