The internal energy of the classical one-component plasma is calculated using a Monte Carlo technique for 128, 250, 432, 686, and 1024 particles for 1.Abstract:
We calculate the internal energy of the classical one-component plasma using a Monte Carlo technique for 128, 250, 432, 686, and 1024 particles for $1l\ensuremath{\Gamma}l300$ in order to determine the effect of a differing number of particles on the thermodynamics. By fitting the internal energy to a function of $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$ and $N$ (the particle number), we find the free energy for both the liquid and solid for an infinite number of particles.read more

Flash: An adaptive mesh hydrodynamics code for modeling astrophysical thermonuclear flashes
B. Fryxell,K. Olson,Paul M. Ricker,Francis Timmes,Michael Zingale,D. Q. Lamb,Peter MacNeice,Robert Rosner,James W. Truran,Henry M. Tufo +9 more
TL;DR: The first version of a new-generation simulation code, FLASH, solves the fully compressible, reactive hydrodynamic equations and allows for the use of adaptive mesh refinement and contains state-of-the-art modules for the equations of state and thermonuclear reaction networks.

Trapped nonneutral plasmas, liquids, and crystals (the thermal equilibrium states)
TL;DR: In this article, the conditions for, and the structure of, the thermal equilibrium states of trapped plasmas are discussed. And a thermodynamic theory of the trapped plasma system is developed.

Astrophysical methods to constrain axions and other novel particle phenomena
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical methods as well as the observational data that have been employed in order to use stars as "particle physics laboratories" in the spirit of this argument.

Melting, freezing and colloidal suspensions
TL;DR: In this paper, the statistical mechanics of these ubiquitous phase transitions and highlights recent work on the bulk and surface melting of solids, crystal growth from the melt, and the kinetic glass transition of supercooled liquids are discussed.
