Hunter (1977) found that a Monte-Carlo simulation of electron swarms in hydrogen, based on an isotropic scattering model, produced discrepancies between the predicted and measured electron transport parameters. The present paper shows that, with an anisotropic scattering model, good agreement is obtained between the predicted and experimental data. The simulation code is used here to calculate various parameters which are not directly measurable.

A Monte Carlo simulation of the motio'n of an electron swarm in molecular hydrogen has been studied in the range E/N = 1,4-170 Td. The simulation was performed for 400-600 electrons at several values of E/N for two different sets of inelastic collision cross sections at high E/N. ,Results were obtained for the longitudinal diffusion coefficient DL , lateral diffusion coefficient D, swarm drift velocity W, average swarm energy <Ii) and ionization and excitation production coefficients, and these were compared with experimental data where available. It is found that the results differ significantly from the experimental values and this is attributed to the isotropic scattering model used in this work. However, the results lend support to the experimental technique used recently by Blevin et al. to determine these transport parameters, and in particular confirm their results that DL > D at high values of E/N.

AbstractMonte Carlo algorithms are developed to simulate the electron transport in semiconductors. In particular, the drift velocity in GaN semiconductors is calculated, and a comparison with experimental measurements is discussed. Explicit expressions for the scattering probabilities and distributions of the scattering angle of electrons on polar optical and intervalley phonons, and acoustic deformation potential as well are given. A good agreement of the simulation results and the experimental measurements reveals that the M-L valley is located at 0.7 eV higher than the Γ-valley. This value agrees with other experimental studies, while it is lower compared to ab initio calculations.

Substantial fluxes of protons and leptons with energies below the geomagnetic cutoff have been measured by the AMS experiment at altitudes of 370-390 Km, in the latitude interval ±51.7°. The production mechanisms of the observed trapped fluxes are investigated in detail by means of the FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation code. All known processes involved in the interaction of the cosmic protons with the atmosphere (detailed descriptions of the magnetic field atmospheric density, as well as the electromagnetic and nuclear interaction processes) are included in the simulation. The results are presented and compared with the experimental data, indicating good agreement with the observed fluxes. The impact of secondary proton flux on particle production in atmosphere is briefly discussed.

In this work, we report on the theoretical calculations of the temperature dependence of magnetization in Ni2MnGa alloy by Monte Carlo simulation. The calculations have been carried out for the single crystal and polycrystalline structures with 16, 32 and 64 magnetic domains. The theoretically calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

The 'photon flux' technique has been used to study electron transport in molecular nitrogen for steady stream discharges under the influence of Ex B fields. The results, the first for the range of conditions 350 < E/N < 550 Td, 0 < B/N < 1009xl0-17 Gcm3, are reported and comparisons between the experimentally determined transport parameters and those obtained under similar conditions by Monte Carlo simulation are made.

In this work, we develop and calibrate a model to represent the trajectory of a badminton shuttlecock and use it to investigate the influence of serve height in view of a new serve rule instated by the Badminton World Federation. The new rule means that all players must launch the shuttlecock below a height of 1.15 m, as opposed to the old rule whereby the required launch height was under the rib cage of the server. The model is based on a forward dynamics model of ballistic trajectory with drag, and it is calibrated with experimental data. The experiments also served to determine the actual influence of the new rule on the shuttlecock launch position. The model is used in a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the statistical influence of the new serve rules on the player’s ability to perform good serves; i.e., serves with little opportunity for the receiver to attack. We conclude that, for the female player in question, serving below a height of 1.15 m makes it marginally more difficult to perform excellent serves. We also conclude that there might be alternative launch positions that would be less likely to produce the best serves but could be exploited as a tactical option.
