| Abstract | A Monte Carlo formulation which is closely related not only to the finite-difference formulation but also to the underlying physics of transport phenomena is developed to avoid the problems of instabilities, inaccuracies, and artifacts in calculations of cosmic-ray transport. Computations of charged particle transport along a large-scale guiding magnetic field whose spatial variations are characterized by the focusing length are described. The magnetic fields are visualized as static, and there is no interaction among particles in an extremely tenuous distribution of charged particles. This situation differs from those considered by plasma physics, but it is closely analogous to those treated by classical transport theory. This formulation includes all important effects except those of the convective motion of the background medium, which significantly affect the slow variations of cosmic-ray modulation but play a minor role during the rapid evolution of solar particle events. It includes the two essential aspects of charged particle transport. These are a strong inhibition of transport perpendicular to the guiding field and a strong anisotropy of the pitch-angle scattering by random fields. Results obtained on the massively parallel processor with the aid of Monte Carlo methods are equivalent in every detail to those based upon careful use of more traditional methods, but they are less subject to error and are closer to physics.< |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
