Auxiliary field simulation and Coulomb's law
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review a family of local algorithms that permit the simulation of charged particles with purely local dynamics. Molecular dynamics formulations lead to discretizations similar to those of “particle in cell” methods in plasma physics. We show how to formulate a local Monte-Carlo algorithm in the presence of the long ranged Coulomb interaction. We compare the efficiencies of our molecular dynamics and Monte-Carlo codes.

متن کاملFriction phenomena and their impact on the shear behaviour of granular material
In the discrete element simulation of granular materials, the modelling of contacts is crucial for the prediction of the macroscopic material behaviour. From the tribological point of view, friction at contacts needs to be modelled carefully, as it depends on several factors, e.g. contact normal load or temperature to name only two. In discrete element method (DEM) simulations the usage of Coul...
متن کاملProbing minicharged particles with tests of Coulomb's law.
Minicharged particles arise in many extensions of the standard model. Their contribution to the vacuum polarization modifies Coulomb's law via the Uehling potential. In this Letter, we argue that tests for electromagnetic fifth forces can therefore be a sensitive probe of minicharged particles. In the low mass range < or approximately equal to microeV existing constraints from Cavendish type ex...
متن کاملClassical Electromagnetism as a Consequence of Coulomb ’ s Law , Special Relativity and Hamilton ’ s Principle and its Relationship to Quantum Electrodynamics
It is demonstrated how all the mechanical equations of Classical Electromag-netism (CEM) may be derived from only Coulomb's inverse square force law, special relativity and Hamilton's Principle. The instantaneous nature of the Coulomb force in the centre-of-mass frame of two interacting charged objects, mediated by the exchange of space-like virtual photons, is predicted by QED. The interaction...
