Centrality and Transverse momentum dependencies of Hadrons in Xe+Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.44$ TeV from a multi-phase transport model

Abstract

In this paper, we study and predict the charged-particle pseudorapidity multiplicity density ($\frac{d{N}_{ch}}{d\hat{I}\cdot }$), transverse momentum spectra of identified particles and their ratios in relativistic heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), using the string-melting version of a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model with improved quark coalescence method. Results of the charged-particle pseudorapidity multiplicity density from AMPT model calculations for Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV are compared with the experimental data. Good agreements are generally found between theoretical calculations and experimental data. We predict $\frac{d{N}_{ch}}{d\hat{I}\cdot }$ for Xe+Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.44$ TeV at different centralities, and $p_T$ spectra of charged pions, kaons and protons, and their ratios $K/\ddot{I}€$ and $p/\ddot{I}€$ in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV and Xe+Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.44$ TeV that are being studied at LHC. The $p_T$ spectra of identified particles in Pb+Pb collisions from the improved AMPT model are compared and found to be consistent with results from the iEBE-VISHNU hybrid model with TRENTo initial condition.
