Abstract
This study uses Glauber Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the connection between initial collision geometry and potential jet quenching effects. A dataset of 75,000 simulated collision events was examined, with a focus on the associations between geometrical parameters such as participant numbers, eccentricity, triangularity, and their respective orientation angles, and the impact parameters. By calculating path length differences for each event, optimal ranges of such variables were identified, which could possibly enhance observable jet quenching. Our findings show that mid-central collisions with 100 to 200 participants, higher eccentricity, and impact parameters of 8 fm provide the optimal conditions for studying path length-dependent phenomena.
