Evaluation of Monte Carlo tools for high energy atmospheric physics
The emerging field of high energy atmospheric physics (HEAP) includes terrestrial gamma-ray flashes, electron–positron beams and gamma-ray glows from thunderstorms. Similar emissions of high energy particles occur in pulsed high voltage discharges. Understanding these phenomena requires appropriate models for the interaction of electrons, positrons and photons of up to 40 MeV energy with atmosp...
متن کاملMonte Carlo methods in physics Monte Carlo simulation of the plasma wake around a charged spacecraft
In this report the results of my Monte Carlo simulation of the plasma wake around a charged spacecraft are presented. The simulation was done for a spherical spacecraft with radius 1.5m and a potential of +35V in a tenuous plasma of protons and electrons. These are parameters similar to those of the Cluster spacecraft in Earth’s magnetosphere. The simulation was done only for the protons in the...
متن کامل4 Monte Carlo Methods in Classical Statistical Physics
The purpose of this chapter is to give a brief introduction to Monte Carlo simulations of classical statistical physics systems and their statistical analysis. To set the general theoretical frame, first some properties of phase transitions and simple models describing them are briefly recalled, before the concept of importance sampling Monte Carlo methods is introduced. The basic idea is illus...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Monte Carlo Methods in Statistical Physics
In this paper we shall briefly review a few Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods for simulating closed systems described by canonical ensembles. We cover both Boltzmann and non-Boltzmann sampling techniques. The Metropolis algorithm is a typical example of Boltzmann Monte Carlo method. We discuss the time-symmetry of the Markov chain generated by Metropolis like algorithms that obey detailed balanc...
متن کاملMonte Carlo methods in statistical physics: mathematical foundations and strategies
Monte Carlo is a versatile and frequently used tool in statistical physics and beyond. Correspondingly, the number of algorithms and variants reported in the literature is vast, and an overview is not easy to achieve. In this pedagogical review, we start by presenting the probabilistic concepts which are at the basis of the Monte Carlo method. From these concepts the relevant free parameters—wh...
