Evaluation of Monte Carlo tools for high-energy atmospheric physics II: relativistic runaway electron avalanches

<p>The emerging field of high-energy atmospheric physics studies how high-energy particles are produced in thunderstorms, in the form of terrestrial <i>γ</i>-ray flashes and <i>γ</i>-ray glows (also referred to as thunderstorm ground enhancements). Understanding thes...
