The article discusses a high.performance null collision methodfor modeling collisionsin plasma.Adistinctive
feature of the proposed approach from the classical [1] is that it does not use trigonometric functions at
all, which can significantlyreduce the program execution time on modern processors. The approach is based
on theinteraction of each particle with an "average" (having averaged properties of all particles in the cell)
particle (instead of the classical approach based on pairwise interaction [2]). The most subtle point in this approach
is the conservation of energy and momentum of the entire system when changingthe trajectories and
velocityoftheparticles.Approachestosolvingthisproblemaregiven,experimentalresultsare discussed.The
effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown.
