#RELATION BETWEEN THETA AND PHI IN COMPTON EFFECT CODE#
We present benchmarks of the code against the analytical results of Blumenthal et al. The algorithm accounts for the stochastic nature of Compton scattering reproducing without approximations the exchange of energy between photons and unbound charged species. We present the implementation of a novel module, embedded in the self-consistent framework of the PIC code OSIRIS 4.0, capable of simulating Compton scattering from first principles and that is fully integrated with the self-consistent plasma dynamics. In these scenarios, Compton scattering is coupled with self-consistent mechanisms such as pair cascades. Compton scattering collision module for OSIRISĭel Gaudio, Fabrizio Grismayer, Thomas Fonseca, Ricardo Silva, LuÃsĬompton scattering plays a fundamental role in a variety of different astrophysical environments, such as at the gaps of pulsars and the stagnation surface of black holes.
