Abstract

We present predictions from the string melting version of a multi-phase transport model on various observables in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=5.02\sqrt {s_{NN}}=5.02 TeV. We use the same version of the model as an earlier study that reasonably reproduced dN/dy, pTp_{\rm T}-spectra and elliptic flow of charged pions and kaons at low-pTp_{\rm T} for central and semi-central heavy ion collisions at 200 GeV and 2.76 TeV. While we compare with the already-available centrality dependence data on charged particle dN/dηdN/d\eta at mid-pseudorapidity in Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, we make predictions on identified particle dN/dy, pTp_{\rm T}-spectra, azimuthal anisotropies vn(n=2,3,4)v_n (n=2,3,4), and factorization ratios rn(ηa,ηb)(n=2,3)r_{n}(\eta^{a},\eta^{b}) (n=2,3) for longitudinal correlations.
