Higher-order Time Integration of Stochastic Differential Equations and Application to Coulomb Collisions
We have examined the extension of Langevin-equation Monte-Carlo algorithms for Coulomb collisions from the conventional Euler O(∆t)-order time integration to the next higher [Milstein-O(∆t)] order of accuracy. This examination has yielded many results, some of interest specifically for the Coulomb-collision problem, some of fundamental importance for integration of stochastic motion on a spheri...
متن کاملModeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملInfluence of electron-ion collisions on Coulomb crystallization of ultracold neutral plasmas
While ion heating by elastic electron-ion collisions may be neglected for a description of the evolution of freely expanding ultracold neutral plasmas, the situation is different in scenarios where the ions are laser-cooled during the system evolution. We show that electron-ion collisions in laser-cooled plasmas influence the ionic temperature, decreasing the degree of correlation obtainable in...
متن کاملLangevin equation for the Rayleigh model with finite-range interactions.
Both linear and nonlinear Langevin equations are derived directly from the Liouville equation for an exactly solvable model consisting of a Brownian particle of mass M interacting with ideal gas molecules of mass m via a quadratic repulsive potential. Explicit microscopic expressions for all kinetic coefficients appearing in these equations are presented. It is shown that the range of applicabi...
متن کاملTime Step Rescaling Recovers Continuous-Time Dynamical Properties for Discrete-Time Langevin Integration of Nonequilibrium Systems
When simulating molecular systems using deterministic equations of motion (e.g., Newtonian dynamics), such equations are generally numerically integrated according to a well-developed set of algorithms that share commonly agreed-upon desirable properties. However, for stochastic equations of motion (e.g., Langevin dynamics), there is still broad disagreement over which integration algorithms ar...
