A Diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm employing depth first traversal and a stack instead of a swarm

Bastiaan J. Braams

Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and Monte Carlo for particle transport with importance sampling both involve simulations of weighted walkers that undergo birth and death processes (spl…

Estimating the Missing Mass, Partition Function or Evidence for a Case of Sampling from a Discrete Set

Bastiaan J. Braams

We consider the problem of estimating the missing mass, partition function or evidence and its probability distribution in the case that for each sample point in the discrete sampl…

A Better Linear Unbiased Estimator for Averages over Discrete Structures

Bastiaan J. Braams

Given an i.i.d. sample drawn from some probability distribution on a finite set, the best (in the sense of least variance) linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of the average of any qu…

Neutral dissociation of methane by electron impact and a complete and consistent cross section set

D. Bouwman, A. Martinez, B. Braams +1

We present cross sections for the neutral dissociation of methane, in a large part obtained through analytical approximations. With these cross sections the work of Song $\textit{e…

QDB: a new database of plasma chemistries and reactions

Jonathan Tennyson, Sara Rahimi, Christian Hill +31

One of the most challenging and recurring problems when modelling plasmas is the lack of data on key atomic and molecular reactions that drive plasma processes. Even when there are…

Uncertainty Estimates for Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Data

H. -K. Chung, B. J. Braams, K. Bartschat +5

Sources of uncertainty are reviewed for calculated atomic and molecular data that are important for plasma modeling: atomic and molecular structure and cross sections for electron-…
