Particle physicists seem to avoid the term "computer model," which is often used as a synonym for computer simulation programs in other fields.
Again, this school of thought has not won widespread acceptance among physicists; but again, that is not the point.
Z pinches have long been interesting to plasma physicists because of the simplicity of their geometry.
Correspondingly, physicists experienced professional pique at the chemists' seeming success and acclaim.
Of course, not every physicist regarded the chemists' announcement as a professional threat to the same degree.
In addition, some theoretical physicists use event generators outside of an experiment's context to investigate models.
This means that, as a rule, the "auxiliaries" we are discussing here are not physicists.
This aspect can be further explored by fusion physicists.
