Researchers simulate electrons in astrophysical plasma jets

Physicists of Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf have been able to simulate the motion of billions of electrons within astrophysical plasma jets and calculate the light they emit with the help of a high-performance computer. They have been nominated for the Gordon Bell Prize as a result of their work. On the 20th of Nov. they present their work at the Supercomputing Conference SC13 in Denver.
