Released Code
I have developed a simple grid-based Poisson's equation solver intended to simulate pixel distortion effects in the thick fully-depleted CCD's to be used in the LSST digital camera. This code allows one to set up various configurations of pixel regions and surrounding regions of fixed potential and simulate the pixel boundaries and electron paths in the CCD. The code is available at this link
Multimedia files
Below are a set of movies of the bullet cluster collision. Each movie consists of three panels. The top panel shows the mass distribution, with the log of the baryon mass being shown in color, and the log of the dark matter mas being shown in white contour lines. The separation of the dark matter from the baryons can be clearly seen. The center panel shows the log of the baryon temperature, and the bottom panel shows the log of the magnetic field.
This file, shows a movie of the bullet cluster simulation. This represents the best-case initial conditions.
This file, shows a movie of the bullet cluster simulation, carried several Gigayears (Gy) into the future. It shows the future evolution and coalescence of the two clusters.
This file, shows electrons propagating in a 100 micron thick CCD from their point of creation down to where they are collected in the collecting wells. This has physically realistic values of drift and diffusion.
