Description

We have implemented spherical harmonics for intrinsically deformed nuclei collisions (U+U) at RHIC and (Xe+Xe) at LHC, in HIJING and AMPT models and calculated various physical observables. The study of intrinsic deformation in nucleus is important because it may cause asymmetry in the initial configuration of interacting particles and thus affect the final observables. It is also important to study deformed system for deeper understanding of properties of hot and dense system formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions through final asymmetry in final particle production and its abundances. Such asymmetries may also occur in core of dense or compact systems such as neutron stars etc. Our present calculations were done taking different collision angles of Uranium nuclei. We call such collision configurations as tip, body, side and random. The results show different yields in particle production from different collision angles. However, particles ratios seem to be unaffected by our choices of the collision configurations.
