Simulation study on global migration of locally generated impurity in JT-60U by Ryuichi Sano, Tomohide Nakano, Shohei Yamoto

“…The transport of carbon and neon particles locally emitted from plasma facing components under the JT-60U L-mode plasma condition is investigated by the integrated divertor code SONIC. In this analysis, an impurity point source emitting a small amount of impurity particles functioning as tracers at the divertor target is added into previously calculated background plasma with changing point source location. …”

Cosmological Simulations with Massive Neutrinos: Efficiency and Accuracy by Bing-Hang Chen, Jun-Jie Zhao, Hao-Ran Yu, Yu Liu, Jian-Hua He, Yipeng Jing

“…Constraining neutrino mass through cosmological observations relies on precise simulations to calibrate their effects on large scale structure, while these simulations must overcome computational challenges like dealing with large velocity dispersions and small intrinsic neutrino perturbations. We present an efficient <i>N</i>-body implementation with semi-linear neutrino mass response which gives accurate power spectra and halo statistics. …”
