The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) aims to inject oxygen (^16O) ions in next run into its experiments. This include anticipated one-day physics run focusing on collisions at center-of-mass energy. In this study, we present the production of identified particles (^, K^ and p (p) ) as well as the bulk-properties of the medium produced in collisions at s₍₍ from EPOS4 simulations. We report the transverse momentum () spectra, integrated yield (), charged particle multiplicity (), mean transverse momentum (), differential particle ratios (K/ and p/) for different centrality classes. We found that EPOS4 simulations reasonably reproduce the shapes and distributions of all observables. The freeze-out parameters have been extracted by fitting the spectra of identified particles simultaneously by the Boltzmann Gibbs Blast Wave model. We found the presence of significant radial flow () and comparable kinetic freeze-out temperature () with collisions at LHC energies. Additionally, a strong anti-correlation is found between and from central to peripheral collisions. We also compare the freeze-out parameters from EPOS4 with AMPT and it is observed that the flow velocity from EPOS4 is relatively higher compared to that of AMPT. Furthermore, the foreseen data from collisions at the LHC, when available, will help to better understand the heavy-ion-like behaviour in small systems. This is due to final state multiplicity overlap in collisions with, and collisions, and it may also help to put possible constraints on the model parameters.
