Lifetime models due to chorus waves

The chorus provides lifetime models due to interaction with chorus waves.

Models:

• Gu et al., (2012) [TBD]

• Wang et al., (2024) [TBD]

Functions

rbamlib.models.tau.chorus.G2012()

Calculates electron lifetime due to chorus waves following Gu et al. (2012) [1] model.

Warning

This function is currently empty. Implementation will be added soon.
