Modifications to Swisdak (2013)'s rejection sampling algorithm for a Maxwell–Jüttner distribution in particle simulations
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Modifications to Swisdak's [Phys. Plasmas 20, 062110 (2013)] rejection sampling algorithm for drawing a Maxwell–Jüttner distribution in particle simulations are presented. Handy approximations for e-folding points and a linear slope in the envelope function are proposed, to make the algorithm self-contained and more efficient.
