Course Description

Different computing methods used for simulations in contemporary physics problems are presented through four topics. Ray tracing in curved spacetime: Spacetime. Curved spacetime. Metric. Path length. Riemannov tensor. Einstein s equation and spherically symmetric solutions. Light propagation in curved spacetime. Numerical solutions of differential equation. Ray-tracing. Gravitational lens. Application of machine learning to event classification in high energy physics: Introduction to ground-based gamma-astronomy: observed objects and instruments. Data acquisition and analysis chain. Event reconstruction. Problem of signal separation in the presence of high levels of noise. Application of random forest algorithm to the gamma-hadron separation problem in high energy physics. Material surface adsorption: Chemisorption and physisorption. Van der Waals force. Crystal lattice. Van der Waals material layers (graphen as an example). Simulating Van der Waals material adsorption onto a surface. Finding optimal orientation of adsorbed material with respect to the substrate layer. Percolation, application to material properties: Percolation concepts. Abrupt transitions in material behavior. Long range connectivity. Electrical conductivity in composite materials. Tunneling effects. Monte Carlo simulations of materials, comparison with measured properties.
