Reference parameters

Reference parameters are not needed or used by the main part of the code, but define the physical units of the simulation, and are needed for a few specific steps during setup (e.g. calculation of normalised collision frequency).

Calculate normalized electron-electron collision frequency at reference parameters for Coulomb collisions.

Calculate normalized electron-ion collision frequency at reference parameters for Coulomb collisions.

Currently valid only for hydrogenic ions (Z=1)
