Geometry studies of high energy 16O collisions
Abstract: In this project a model of oxygen, 16O, nuclei, where the nucleons are organised in α-clusters, was implemented in the Pythia Monte Carlo event generator. To study the effects of the new model, some observables, such as the distribution of the number of the wounded nucleons, charged particle multiplicity in the forward and central pseudorapidity region, and the pseudorapidity distribution for different centrality bins and eccentricity, are compared to the model originally implemented in Pythia (Woods-Saxon). Some basic theory that is used in the Pythia framework is also reviewed, as an amalgam from information taken from overview papers on the Glauber Model, Monte Carlo Event generators, the Angantyr model, and the string shoving model.
