r"""
Calculate the thermalization ratio for a plasma in transit, taken
from :cite:t:`maruca:2013` and :cite:t:`johnson:2023a`. This
function allows the thermalization of a plasma to be modeled,
predicting the temperature ratio for different ion species
within a plasma at a different point in space.
Parameters
----------
r_0 : `~astropy.units.Quantity`, |keyword-only|
Starting position of the plasma in units convertible
to astronomical units.
r_n : `~astropy.units.Quantity`
Final position of the plasma in units convertible
to astronomical units.
n_1 : `~astropy.units.Quantity`
The primary ion number density in units convertible
to m\ :sup:`-3`.
n_2 : `~astropy.units.Quantity`
The secondary ion number density in units convertible
to m\ :sup:`-3`.
v_1 : `~astropy.units.Quantity`
The primary ion speed in units convertible to km s\ :sup:`-1`.
T_1 : `~astropy.units.Quantity`
Temperature of the primary ion in units convertible to
temperature K.
T_2 : `~astropy.units.Quantity`
Temperature of the secondary ion in units convertible to
temperature K.
ions : |particle-list-like|, default: ``("p+, "He-4 2+")``
Particle list containing two (2) particles, primary ion of
interest is entered first, followed by the secondary ion.
n_step : positive integer
The number of intervals used in solving a differential
equation via the Euler method.
density_scale : real number, default: -1.8
The value used as the scaling parameter for the primary ion
density. The default value is taken from
:cite:t:`hellinger:2011`.
velocity_scale : `float`, default: -0.2
The value used as the scaling parameter for the primary ion
velocity. The default value is taken from
:cite:t:`hellinger:2011`.
temperature_scale : `float`, default: -0.74
The value used as the scaling parameter for the primary ion
temperature. The default value is taken from
:cite:t:`hellinger:2011`.
Returns
-------
theta : `float`
The dimensionless ion temperature ratio prediction
for the distance provided.
Raises
------
`TypeError`
If applicable arguments are not instances of
`~astropy.units.Quantity` or cannot be converted into one.
~astropy.units.UnitTypeError
If applicable arguments do not have units convertible to the
expected units.
Notes
-----
The processes by which Coulomb collisions bring ion temperatures
into local thermal equilibrium (LTE) has received considerable
attention :cite:p:`verscharen:2019`. The relative temperature
between constituent plasma ion species is given as:
.. math::
\theta_{21} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} \, ,
where :math:`T_{1}` and :math:`T_{2}` are the scalar temperatures
for the primary ion of interest and the secondary ion, respectively.
The scalar temperature defined as:
.. math::
T_{\rm i} = \frac{2T_{{\rm i}, \perp} + T_{{\rm i}, \parallel}}{3} \, ,
where :math:`T_{{\rm i}, \perp}` and :math:`T_{{\rm i}, \parallel}`
are the temperature of the :math:`{\rm i}`-particles along the
axes perpendicular and parallel to the ambient magnetic field.
In order to determine how extensively an individual parcel of
plasma has been processed by Coulomb collisions :cite:p:`maruca:2013`
introduced an approached called collisional analysis. This paper seeks
to quantify how collisions affect the plasma's departures from
LTE, the equation for collisional thermalization
from :cite:t:`maruca:2013` is given below:
.. math::
\frac{d \theta_{21}}{dr} = A \left (
\frac{n_1}{v_1 T_1^{3/2}} \right ) \frac{\left( \mu_{1} \mu_{2}
\right )^{1/2} Z_{1} Z_{2} \left( 1 - \theta_{21} \right )
\left(1 + \eta_{21}\theta_{21} \right )}{\left(
\frac{\mu_{2}}{\mu_{1}} + \theta_{21} \right )^{3/2}} \lambda_{21}
and
.. math::
\lambda_{21} = 9 + \ln \left| B \left ( \frac{T^{3}_{1}}{n_{1}}
\right )^{1/2} \left( \frac{Z_{1}Z_{2}(\mu_{1} + \mu_{2}) }{\theta_{21} +
\frac{\mu_{2}}{\mu_1}} \right )
\left( \frac{n_{2}Z_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}Z_{1}^{2}} + \theta_{21}
\right)^{1/2}\right |
With :math:`\eta = \frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}`, :math:`\theta =
\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}`, :math:`A = 2.60 \times 10^{7} \, {\rm cm}^{3}
\, {\rm km} \, {\rm K}^{3/2} \, {\rm s}^{-1} \, {\rm au}^{-1}`,
and :math:`B = 1 \, {\rm cm}^{-3/2}{\rm K}^{-3/2}`.
The thermalization is from Coulomb collisions, which assumes
"soft", small-angle deflections mediated by the electrostatic
force :cite:t:`baumjohann:1997`. It is assumed that there is no
relative drift between the ion species and that it is a mixed ion
collision, the Coulomb logarithm for a mixed ion collision is
given by :cite:t:`nrlformulary:2019`.
The density, velocity and temperature of the primary ion can be
radially scaled, as seen below. The values for the scaling can be
altered, though the default values are taken from
:cite:t:`hellinger:2011`.
.. math::
n(r) \propto r^{-1.8}\ , \hspace{1cm} v_{r}(r) \propto r^{-0.2}\ ,
\hspace{0.5cm} {\rm and} \hspace{0.5cm} T(r) \propto r^{-0.74}
Application is primarily for the solar wind.
