Abstract: A nucleus having 4n number of nucleons, such as 8Be, 12C, 16O, etc., is theorized to possess clusters of α particles (4He nucleus). In this study, we exploit the anisotropic flow coefficients to discern the effects of an \(\alpha\)-clustered nuclear geometry w.r.t. a Woods-Saxon nuclear distribution at \(\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7\) TeV LHC energy.
