Kinetic Event-Chain Algorithm for Active Matter — •Nico Schaffrath, Thevashangar Sathiyanesan, Tobias Kampmann, and Jan Kierfeld — Physics Department, TU Dortmund University, 44221 Dortmund, Germany

We present a cluster kinetic Monte-Carlo algorithm for active matter systems of self-propelled hard particles. The kinetic event-chain algorithm is based on the event-chain Monte-Carlo method and is applied to active hard disks in two dimensions. The algorithm assigns Monte-Carlo moves of active disks a mean time based on the mean and variance of the move length in force direction. This time is used to perform diffusional rotation of their propulsion force. We show that the algorithm reproduces the motility induced phase separated region in the phase diagram of hard disks correctly and efficiently.
