plasmapy.formulary.collisions.misc

Module of miscellaneous parameters related to collisions.

Functions

Bethe_stopping(I, n, v, z)	The theoretical electronic stopping power for swift charged particles calculated from the Bethe formula.
mobility(T, n_e, species[, z_mean, V, method])	Return the electrical mobility.
Spitzer_resistivity(T, n, species[, z_mean, ...])	Spitzer resistivity of a plasma.

Lite-Functions

Lite-functions are optimized versions of existing plasmapy functions that are intended for applications where computational efficiency matters most. Lite-functions accept numbers and NumPy arrays that are implicitly assumed to be in SI units, and do not accept Quantity objects as inputs. For further details, please refer to the contributor guide’s section on lite-functions.

Caution

Lite-functions do not include the safeguards that are included in most plasmapy.formulary functions. When using lite-functions, it is vital to double-check your implementation!

Bethe_stopping_lite(I, n, v, z)

The lite-function version of Bethe_stopping.
