Tree code for collision detection of large numbers of particles applied to the Breit–Wheeler process

Résumé

Collision detection of a large number N of particles can be challenging. Directly testing N particles for collisions among each other leads to N2 queries. Especially in scenarios, where fast, densely packed particles interact, challenges arise for classical methods like Particle-in-Cell or Monte-Carlo. Modern collision detection methods utilising bounding volume hierarchies are suitable to overcome these challenges and allow a detailed analysis of the interaction of large number of particles. This approach is applied to the analysis of the collision of two photon beams leading to the creation of electron–positron pairs.
