${}^{16}{\mathrm{O}}^{16}\mathrm{O}$ at RHIC and the LHC comparing $\alpha$ clustering vs substructure

Abstract

Collisions of light and heavy nuclei in relativistic heavy-ion collisions have been shown to be sensitive to nuclear structure. With a proposed ${}^{16}{\mathrm{O}}^{16}\mathrm{O}$ run at the LHC and RHIC we study the potential for finding $\alpha$ clustering in ${}^{16}$O. Here we use the state-of-the-art iEBE-VISHNU package with ${}^{16}$O nucleonic configurations from {\rm ab initio} nuclear lattice simulations. This setup was tuned using a Bayesian analysis on pPb and PbPb systems. We find that the ${}^{16}{\mathrm{O}}^{16}\mathrm{O}$ system always begins far from equilibrium and that at LHC and RHIC it approaches the regime of hydrodynamic applicability only at very late times. Finally, by taking ratios of flow harmonics we are able to find measurable differences between $\alpha$-clustering, nucleonic, and subnucleonic degrees of freedom in the initial state.
