## Detailed Description

An abstract base class for plasma screening models.

This class defines the interface for models that calculate the enhancement factor for nuclear reaction rates due to the electrostatic screening of interacting nuclei by the surrounding plasma. Concrete implementations of this class will provide specific screening prescriptions (e.g., WEAK, BARE, STRONG, etc.).

The interface provides methods for calculating screening factors for both standard double-precision inputs and for CppAD's automatic differentiation types, allowing the screening contributions to be included in Jacobian calculations.

pure virtual

Calculates screening factors using CppAD types for automatic differentiation.

This is a pure virtual function that provides an overload of `calculateScreeningFactors` for use with CppAD. It allows the derivatives of the screening factors with respect to abundances, temperature, and density to be computed automatically.

Parameters

  reactions | The set of logical reactions in the network.
  species | A vector of all atomic species involved in the network.
  Y | The current composition, providing molar abundances (mol/g) for each species.
  T9 | The temperature in units of 10^9 K, as an AD type.
  rho | The plasma density in g/cm^3, as an AD type.

Returns
  A vector of screening factors (dimensionless), as AD types.

Note This method is essential for including the effects of screening in the Jacobian matrix of the reaction network.

Implemented in PyScreening, gridfire::screening::IntermediateScreeningModel, gridfire::screening::BareScreeningModel, and gridfire::screening::WeakScreeningModel.

pure virtual

Calculates screening factors for a set of reactions.

This is a pure virtual function that must be implemented by derived classes. It computes the screening enhancement factor for each reaction in the provided set based on the given plasma conditions.

Parameters

  reactions | The set of logical reactions in the network.
  species | A vector of all atomic species involved in the network.
  Y | The current composition, providing molar abundances (mol/g) for each species.
  T9 | The temperature in units of 10^9 K.
  rho | The plasma density in g/cm^3.

Returns
  A vector of screening factors (dimensionless), one for each reaction in the `reactions` set, in the same order.

Pre-conditions

- The size of the `Y` vector must match the size of the `species` vector.
- `T9` and `rho` must be positive.

Post-conditions

- The returned vector will have the same size as the `reactions` set.
- Each element in the returned vector will be >= 1.0.

Usage

// Assume 'model' is a std::unique_ptr<ScreeningModel> to a concrete implementation
// and other parameters (reactions, species, Y, T9, rho) are initialized.
std::vector<double> screening_factors = model->calculateScreeningFactors(
reactions, species, Y, T9, rho
);
for (size_t i = 0; i < reactions.size(); ++i) {
// ... use screening_factors[i] ...
}

Implemented in PyScreening, gridfire::screening::BareScreeningModel, gridfire::screening::IntermediateScreeningModel, and gridfire::screening::WeakScreeningModel.
