We study, within the Monte-Carlo Glauber model, centrality dependence of the midrapidity charged multiplicity density 
and of the anisotropy coefficients 
in Pb + Pb collisions at 
TeV and in Xe + Xe collisions at 
TeV. Calculations are performed for versions with and without nucleon meson cloud. The fraction of the binary collisions, 
, has been fitted to the data on in Pb + Pb collisions. We obtain 
with (without) meson cloud. The effect of meson cloud on the is relatively small. For Xe + Xe collisions for 0–5% centrality bin we obtain 
and 1134 with and without meson cloud, respectively. We obtain 
for most central collisions, and 
close to unity at [see pdf] . We find a noticeable increase of the eccentricity in Xe + Xe collisions at small centralities due to the prolate shape of the Xe nucleus. The triangularity in Xe + Xe collisions is bigger than in Pb + Pb collisions at [see pdf] . We obtain 
at [see pdf] .
