Modelling Chemotaxis of swarm search — •Zeinab Sadjadi and Heiko Rieger — Theoretical Physics, Saarland university, 66123 Saarbrücken, Germany

We study the effect of chemotaxis in swarming search strategy of T cells. We hypothesize that a swarm of T cells might coordinate its search by secreting chemokines on their trail which send a signal to other searchers and eventualy enhances the search efficiency. We model T cells movement as if they avoid searching areas that other T cells have scanned already and explore regions that have not been visited yet. This leads to a searcher-searcher interaction which we investigate on a 2D lattice.
