This work presents #beorn, the Bubbles during the _Epoch of Reionization Numerical simulator_ by @Schaeffer_2023, and the refinements we make to achieve self-consistency. In its simplest description #beorn is the implementation of the "halo model of reionization" by @schneider2023cosmologicalforecast21cmpower. In this model the radiative interactions are treated as spherically symmetric around a halo-scale source. This effectively reduces the dimensionality of the radiative transfer problem. #beorn uses the 1-d profiles generated by this model to paint the 3-d space around sources which are obtained from a large scale N-body simulation. A distinguishing feature of #beorn is the self-consistent treatment of the growth of individual sources over the course of the simulation. The first iteration of #beorn focused on the effect of emitted photons whereas this work focuses on the effects of gravitational mass accretion. We show that the radiation profiles are sensitive to the growth rate of the sources and that an accurate treatment of the source growth has an impact on the resulting 21-cm signal.

This report is structured as follows: @procedure describes the details of the simulation procedure, including the underlying model. @halo_mass_history explains how mass evolution is modelled and its impact on the profiles.

In @implementation we give an overview of the implementation of the self-consistent treatment of mass accretion. In @validation we validate the refined procedure and in @results we compare the resulting signal to quantify the impact of mass accretion. @conclusion summarizes the findings and discusses potential future improvements.
