Selection of special orientations in relativistic collisions of deformed heavy nuclei

Abstract

We have studied U+U collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV using Monte Carlo Glauber, UrQMD and AMPT models. We find that it is possible to separate central tip-tip events as well as central body-body events on the basis of cuts on multiplicity and magnitude of the reduced flow vector.
