Free electron relativistic correction factors to collisional excitation and ionisation rates in a plasma

This paper presents approximate correction factors to collisional excitation and ionisation rates which account for special relativity in the free electron motion as a function of free electron temperature and the threshold energy of the reaction. These are calculated by taking the ratio of collisio...
