Résumé

The present work focuses on Oxygen-Oxygen (O-O) collisions, which are planned at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Oxygen, being a doubly magic number nucleus, has some very unique features. This study attempts to probe the exotic state of QCD matter in O-O collisions. Additionally, the role of different nuclear density profiles in governing the final state dynamics in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions is also explored. Using a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model, we obtain the nuclear modification factor ($\rm R_{\rm AA}$ ) for all charged hadrons and identified particles for O-O collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 7 TeV. Furthermore, we investigate the behavior of $\rm R_{\rm AA}$ as a function of transverse momentum ($\rm p_{\rm T}$) for three centralities (most-central, mid-central, and peripheral) considering both $\alpha$-cluster and Woods-Saxon nuclear density profiles. We also extend this work to study the rapidity dependence of $\rm R_{\rm AA}$ for all charged hadrons. To better under our findings of O-O collisions, the results are confronted with the available data of $\rm R_{\rm AA}$ for Pb-Pb collisions. The present study sheds light on particle production mechanisms, emphasizing factors influencing particle yield from pre-collision to post-collision stages in the context of O-O collisions.
