Functions
void	react_table_read (char *filename, react_table *r)
	Reads a reaction rate table from file filename and stores the table in the form of a 'react_table' at location r.
void	react_table_lookup (react_table *r, double e, double *ra)
	Computes an approximation for the reaction rate.

Detailed Description

Handles the communication between the main code and the reaction tables.

Rather than hardcoding a different function for each possible dependence of the reaction-rate on the electric field, these rate/field dependencies are written in a table. This allows reactions to be added/changed/removed without recompiling the source.

Function Documentation

void react_table_read	(	char *	filename,
		react_table *	r
	)

Reads a reaction rate table from file filename and stores the table in the form of a 'react_table' at location r.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void react_table_lookup	(	react_table *	r,
		double	e,
		double *	ra
	)

Computes an approximation for the reaction rate.

Computes an approximation for the reaction rate at field-strength e by interpolating reaction rates from lookup table r. Stores the result in ra.
