Nano-scale simulation of neuronal damage by galactic cosmic rays
Jonah S. Peter, Jan Schuemann, Kathryn D. Held +1
The effects of complex, mixed-ion radiation fields on neuronal function remain largely unexplored. Here, we present a complete analysis of the nano-scale physics associated with br…
Particle detection and tracking with DNA
Ciaran A. J. O'Hare, Vassili G. Matsos, Joseph Newton +8
We present the first proof-of-concept simulations of detectors using biomaterials to detect particle interactions. The essential idea behind a "DNA detector" involves the attachmen…
Polarization of Compton X-rays from Jets in AGN
Aimee McNamara, Zdenka Kuncic, Kinwah Wu
We investigate the polarization of Compton scattered X-rays from relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei using Monte Carlo simulations. We consider three scenarios: scattering…
X-ray polarization from accreting white dwarfs and associated systems
Kinwah Wu, Aimee McNamara, Zdenka Kuncic
We present our results of Monte-Carlo simulations of polarized Compton X-rays from magnetic cataclysmic variables, with realistic density, temperature and velocity structures in th…
X-ray Polarization in Relativistic Jets
Aimee L. McNamara, Zdenka Kuncic, Kinwah Wu
We investigate the polarization properties of Comptonized X-rays from relativistic jets in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) using Monte Carlo simulations. We consider three scenarios c…
X-ray Polarization Signatures of Compton Scattering in Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables
Aimee McNamara, Zdenka Kuncic, Kinwah Wu
Compton scattering within the accretion column of magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs) can induce a net polarization in the X-ray emission. We investigate this process using Monte…
