Abstract

Full-overlap U+U collisions provide significantly larger initial energy densities at comparable spatial deformation, and significantly larger deformation and volume at comparable energy density, than semicentral Au+Au collisions. We show quantitatively that this provides a long lever arm for studying the hydrodynamic behavior of elliptic flow in much larger and denser collision systems and the predicted nonlinear path-length dependence of radiative parton energy loss.
