\subsection{\acrlong{cs}}
|

A simple linearization of the Coulomb operator based on Ref.~\cite{sherlock2008monte} is implemented.
|
||||
This method assumes that the species involved in the scattering process have a Maxwellian distribution.
|
||||
The method is made to conserve momentum and kinetic energy based on the approach in Ref.~\cite{lemons2009small} for self (same species) and intra (different species) collisions.
|
||||
|
||||
The user must specify the charged species that will interact together.
|
||||
The Coulomb logarithm involved in these processes is currently set to a fix value of $10$.
|
||||
|
||||
This method is not valid for situations in which the distribution functions are far from Maxwellian.
