Transverse momentum spectra and Nuclear Modification factor in Xe-Xe collisions at 5.44 TeV under HYDJET++ framework

Abstract

Transverse momentum $p_{T}$ spectra of charged hadrons at mid-pseudorapidity in deformed Xe-Xe collisions at 5.44 TeV center-of-mass energy under the Monte Carlo HYDJET++ model (HYDrodynamics plus JETs) framework is reported. Results have been presented in $|\eta|<0.8$ kinematic and (0-60)\% centrality range. The nuclear modification factor in Xe-Xe collisions is calculated for most central, semi-central, semi-peripheral, and most peripheral collision centralities. Transverse momentum spectra and nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ show strong $p_{T}$, and centrality dependence. Average transverse momentum $\langle p_{T} \rangle$ as a function of collision centrality is presented. The results have been compared with ALICE experimental data.
