Generation of Bragg Peak with Monte Carlo Simulation (Python3)

Hi, I need help with identifying if the following Landau and Vavilov distributions are the integrals that have to be used in a Monte Carlo simulation to generate a Bragg peak.

Also how to generate random numbers from the inverse of F and Fo as suggested in the paper below. I have to do this on Python 3. Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated. I am a rookie and just starting to do some groundwork for my course.

Thank you!

Error propagation in arcsin function (scattering angle calulation from Bragg-peak q)

Hi guys,

I'm just a lowly pharmacist who is not used to these kind of calculations, so please bear with me ;)

I have measured SAXS curves of liposomes I prepared and have fitted the position of strong Bragg peaks that appear due to the lamellar structure. For further analysis I have to calculate the scattering angle theta via Bragg's law, which is no problem, but since my q-value (the position of the Bragg peak) has an error due to the fitting process, I would like to propagate that error for further calculations. I am a bit lost here though, due to the arcsin making an appearance.

The formula for theta is:

theta = arcsin(q*lambda/(4*pi))

lambda is constant (as are 4 and pi, obviously).

I have used this tool to know where I need to end up, but everything I've tried so far hasn't worked out, and since I have quite a lot of values I don't want to enter it all manually - also I want to know how to do it right.

I've found several sources stating the absolute error of f(x) is the absolute error * f'(x), with f'(x) being 1/sqrt(1-x) for arcsin, but I guess I'm too dumb to use this. I've tried:

ERR(theta) = ERR(q)/(sqrt(ERR(q)*lambda/(4*pi))) but ended up with results far from where I should be.

The closest I've gotten was just using the relative error of q as the relative error of theta, but I don't know if I'm allowed to do that in this case?

If anyone could help me out here, I would greatly appreciate it.

Locating the range of the Bragg peak in SRIM / TRIM

I have attached a screenshot of the TRIM interface which shows a bragg curve for a 5 MeV alpha particle in air.

I can see that the range of the alpha particle is 37.7 mm. How can I find out what range the Bragg peak occurs at?

Mechanisms behind the Bragg Peak.

Hi all, I am interested in verifying my knowledge on what causes the Bragg Peak for Ions.

On my understading, I think of the situation as a metal ball rolling over a magnet. If the ball is rolling fast, then it doesn't slow down much, because it doesn't spend much time in the magnetic field, but if it is rolling slowly, then it slows down more, since it spends more time closer to the magnet. So if you have lots of magnets in a row, then the rate of deceleration of the ball increases as it passes more magnets.

Is this a good way to think about it, is there more then just the Electromagnetic Forces going on here, do the weak and strong forces play much of a part?

UPDATE FROM DANIEL (Ultra Protocol COO) *MUST READ* BULLISH!!

Daniel | Ultra Protocol:

In the last AMA, I spoke about structure, foundation and setting us up (forming stage ) to run ! NOT walk or pray that Ultra will magically increase in value... Reinventing, rebuilding and rebranding ULTRA Protocol with a clear 18 month pathway accelerated by capital funding. this is our primary focus

Getting ourselves ready to "RUN" when (not if) we get major funding must be done now..we've been busy building a brilliant plan .. short, medium and long ... here's some context:

Blockchain is growing and expanding so fast .. businesses, banks and governments are scrambling to work out how to adopt and use it

  • Cryptocurrency is over $3Trillion in value now - that's 400% up since the end of 2020
  • In 2019 just 2 years ago.. $1.5bn was spent on technology...by 2023 .. the next 2 years .. the world is forecast to spend $16bn... 800%
  • Australia alone is forecast to employ over 200,000 people in blockchain by 2030 - its set to explode by 17x
  • Studies on many of the worlds banks , show they will cut expenses in half ... some $30bn in savings by using blockchain tech to automate AML and security checks
  • The Treasurer of Australia, Josh Frydenberg, has already publicly stated that he wants Australia to be the global leader .... Senator Andrew Bragg is leading the committee and forecasts cryptocurrencies and assets will generate $68bn a year. I really could go on and on... I'm telling you this because it matters... crypto is evolving .. it will be regulated before we know it, it will be used everywhere and by everyone.... those that capitalise on the opportunity and solve the biggest issues - security / verification , ease of use including spending and those who land & lead innovation will hit the jackpot! That ... ladies and gentlemen is exactly what we plan to do

In my next piece I'll explain more on our progress To achieve the above we need to change and prepare: GOOD NEWS.. is we are almost through the first of FOUR business change stages. and they get quicker as you move along ! Forming, Storming, Norming (high performance is normality) and Performing (at peak) with high delegation, community engagement and culture driving Ultra

So what does "forming" mean and what have we been doing to "Get Ready" or evolve?

Firstly this isn't a choice , its vital to the survival of Ultra or most projects. "Most" investments with little to no substance or as you say "pump and dumps" last 1-6 months tops before running out o

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Micro Moments In The Army

There are twenty-four beers in a suitcase. There are twenty-four hours in a day. Coincidence? I think not. I'm just an alcoholic. Coincidence is defined as a, "remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent casual connection." Nearly all of us are confined to a flying blueberry that hurls through space at 67,000 MPH (107,826 KPH). I don't know about you Dear Reader, but my life, and how it oddly unfolds, never ceases to amaze me.

I managed to claw my way to forty years old yesterday. I am not a celebratory person though. Yesterday was merely Thursday. My postings have been sporadic at best, but I took the time write a semi-coherent story yesterday. I also thanked the plethora of well-wisher who continue to send digital support while my father battles cancer. I have determined he is too stubborn to die, so I am getting less stressed, and worried.

The Wife decided to use my Pavement Princess (4Runner) to run errands last night. I was not aware of this until this morning. The Wife is "vertically challenged" to the point in which the drivers seat nearly touches the steering wheel. I get somewhat irritated when I am forced to spend thirty seconds watching the seat return to normal position. I then get more irritated when the gas gauge informs me I will be walking home from work if I don't take action.

Coincidence Events

  1. The gas stops at exactly $40.00
  2. I purchase Copenhagen and vittles. Exactly $40.00
  3. The speed limit is 65MPH, but the asshole in front of me is likely doing 40 MPH.
  4. Arrive at work. Open Reddit. I have exactly 40 Bell Notifications.

I read all my notifications, and finally arrive at the Big Four-Oh. "Happy Birthday Sloppy! Do you know when you will post on r/MilitaryStories again?" I have deduced that one Reader, and the entire universe is trying to tell me something. I have been known to occasionally piss people off. However, pissing the universe off seems like a recipe for bad juju. Dear One Reader, Dilly Dilly!

What to post? I have twenty years worth of military stories, but what about "those moments?" The military moments that are not worthy of an entire story? I have witnessed countless moments that are not worthy of a dedicated story during my tenure in the Army. How about I just cram the square-peg in the round-hole and call it a story?
