  • Simulating Synchrotron Optical Flashes in the Reverse Shock of a Gamma Ray Burst

    Creator:
    Bice, Connor
    Abstract:
    We construct a Monte Carlo simulation in Python to calculate optical flashes at 5x10¹⁴ Hz peaking at 6x10³¹ erg s⁻¹Hz⁻¹St⁻¹ due to synchrotron radiation from the reverse shock of a gamma-ray burst’s jet. While analytical solutions to this problem exist, they rely on sweeping simplifications of what is necessarily a...

  • Design of an Optical Medium for the Simulation of Neutron Transport in Reactor Component Materials

    Creator:
    Konyndyk, David M.
    Abstract:
    The scattering of optical rays by small spherical particles bears a strong resemblance to the diffusion of fission neutrons in solid materials. This work explores the feasibility of exploiting similarities between these two systems for the purposes of reactor component analysis, education, and outreach. After a brief overview of reactor-environment...
