Long Characteristics versus Short Characteristics in 3D Radiative Transfer Simulations of Polarized Radiation
We compare maps of scattering polarization signals obtained from three-dimensional (3D) radiation transfer calculations in a magnetoconvection model of the solar atmosphere using formal solvers based on the "short characteristics" (SC) and the "long characteristics" (LC) methods. The SC method requires less computational work, but it is known to
