Optimized Monte Carlo Methods

چکیده
I discuss optimized data analysis and Monte Carlo methods. Reweighting methods are discussed through examples, like Lee-Yang zeroes in the Ising model and the absence of deconfinement in QCD. I discuss reweighted data analysis and multi-hystogramming. I introduce Simulated Tempering, and as an example its application to the Random Field Ising Model. I illustrate Parallel Tempering, and discuss some technical crucial details like thermalization and volume scaling. I give a general perspective by discussing Umbrella Methods and the Multicanonical approach. Lectures given at the 1996 Budapest Summer School on Monte Carlo Methods.

Optimized Monte Carlo Method for glasses
A new Monte Carlo algorithm is introduced for the simulation of supercooled liquids and glass formers, and tested in two model glasses. The algorithm is shown to thermalize well below the Mode Coupling temperature and to outperform other optimized Monte Carlo methods. Using the algorithm, we obtain finite size effects in the specific heat. This effect points to the existence of a large correlat...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of Photoneutron Source by MCNPX Monte Carlo Code for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Introduction Electron linear accelerator (LINAC) can be used for neutron production in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). BNCT is an external radiotherapeutic method for the treatment of some cancers. In this study, Varian 2300 C/D LINAC was simulated as an electron accelerator-based photoneutron source to provide a suitable neutron flux for BNCT. Materials and Methods Photoneutron sources w...

متن کاملOptimized wave functions for quantum Monte Carlo studies of atoms and solids.
Wavefunctions for the homogeneous electron gas, a germanium pseudo-solid, and a germanium pseudo-atom are optimized using the method of variance minimization. New forms for the Jastrow factor which are convenient to optimize and may be evaluated rapidly are devised and tested and we stress the advantages of using expressions which are linear in the variable parameters. For each system studied w...
