Dynamical simulations of supernovae collapse and nuclear collisions via the test particle method — Similarities and differences

  • Published:
Acta Physica Hungarica A) Heavy Ion Physics

Abstract

Test particle methods have been applied very successfully to the numerical simulation of heavy ion reactions at intermediate and high beam energies. Here we will show that the same techniques can be used successfully to simulate the dynamics of the collapse of type II supernovae precursors. We will focus special attention on the effects of collective angular momentum on the resulting supernova dynamics.
