A Monte Carlo algorithm for degenerate plasmas
A procedure for performing Monte Carlo calculations of plasmas with an arbitrary level of degeneracy is outlined. It has possible applications in inertial confinement fusion and astrophysics. Degenerate particles are initialised according to the Fermi–Dirac distribution function, and scattering is via a Pauli blocked binary collision approximation. The algorithm is tested against degenerate ele...
متن کاملA Noisy Monte Carlo Algorithm
We propose a Monte Carlo algorithm to promote Kennedy and Kuti’s linear accept/reject algorithm which accommodates unbiased stochastic estimates of the probability to an exact one. This is achieved by adopting the Metropolis accept/reject steps for both the dynamical and noise configurations. We test it on the five state model and obtain desirable results even for the case with large noise. We ...
متن کاملA Stochastic Monte Carlo Algorithm
We propose a Monte Carlo algorithm to promote Kennedy and Kuti’s linear accept/reject algorithm which accommodates unbiased stochastic estimates of the probability to an exact one. The probability upper bound violations are avoided by adopting the Metropolis accept/reject steps for both the dynamical and noise configurations and the lower bound violations can be absorbed into the observables. W...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Dose Algorithm
Conventional dose calculation algorithms, such as Pencil Beam are proven effective for tumors located in homogeneous regions with similar tissue consistency such as the brain. However, these algorithms tend to overestimate the dose distribution in extracranial regions such as in the lung and head and neck regions where large inhomogeneities exist. Due to the inconsistencies seen in current calc...
متن کاملDirect simulation Monte Carlo schemes for Coulomb interactions in plasmas
We consider the development of Monte Carlo schemes for molecules with Coulomb interactions. We generalize the classic algorithms of Bird and Nanbu-Babovsky for rarefied gas dynamics to the Coulomb case thanks to the approximation introduced by Bobylev and Nanbu [1]. Thus, instead of considering the original Boltzmann collision operator, the schemes are constructed through the use of an approxim...
