We present a discussion of the complexities encountered in particle simulation models for noncubic symmetry semiconductors, focusing on the wurtzite and 4H polytypes of GaN and SiC. We have identified three general issues, band structure, scattering mechanisms, and band intersections, which in our opinion, constitute the most important modifications to conventional Monte Carlo simulators for cubic symmetry semiconductors. It is found that the band intersection points present the greatest modeling challenge. We discuss the effect of band intersections on the transport dynamics and our initial attempts at treating transport near these points. Comparison to experimental data is also 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.

The differences between contemporary Monte Carlo generators of high energy hadronic interactions are discussed and their impact on the interpretation of experimental data on ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) is studied. Key directions for further model improvements are outlined. The prospect for a coherent interpretation of the data in terms of the UHECR composition is investigated.
