"""
Simulate (giant) radio halos originating from the recent merger
events, which generate cluster-wide turbulence and accelerate the
primary (i.e., fossil) relativistic electrons to high energies to
be synchrotron-bright. This *turbulence re-acceleration* model
is currently most widely accepted to explain the (giant) radio halos.
The simulation method is somewhat based on the statistical (Monte
Carlo) method proposed by [cassano2005]_, but with extensive
modifications and improvements.

"""
Simulate the diffuse (giant) radio halo emission for a galaxy
cluster experiencing on-going/recent merger.
Description
-----------
1. Calculate the turbulence persistence time (tau_turb; ~<1 Gyr);
2. Calculate the diffusion coefficient (D_pp) from the systematic
acceleration timescale (tau_acc; ~0.1 Gyr). The acceleration
diffusion is assumed to have an action time ~ tau_turb (i.e.,
only during turbulence persistence), and then is disabled (i.e.,
only radiation and ionization losses later);
3. Assume the electrons are constantly injected and has a power-law
energy spectrum, determine the injection rate by further assuming
that the total injected electrons has energy of a fraction (eta_e)
of the ICM total thermal energy;
4. Set the electron density/spectrum be the accumulated electrons
injected during t_merger time, then evolve it for time_init period
considering only losses and constant injection, in order to derive
an approximately steady electron spectrum for following use;
5. Calculate the magnetic field from the cluster total mass (which
is assumed to be growth linearly from M_main to M_obs);
6. Calculate the energy losses for the coefficients of Fokker-Planck
equation;
7. Solve the Fokker-Planck equation to derive the relativistic
electron spectrum at t_obs (i.e., z_obs);
8. Calculate the synchrotron emissivity from the derived electron
spectrum.

Calculate the electron acceleration timescale due to turbulent

The turbulent acceleration timescale has order of ~0.1 Gyr.
Here we consider the turbulence cascade mode through scattering
in the high-β ICM mediated by plasma instabilities (firehose,
mirror) rather than Coulomb scattering. Therefore, the fast modes
damp by TTD (transit time damping) on relativistic rather than
thermal particles, and the diffusion coefficient is given by:
D_pp = (2*p^2 * ζ / η_e) * k_L * <v_turb^2>^2 / c_s^3

ζ: efficiency factor for the effectiveness of plasma instabilities
η_e: relative energy density of cosmic rays (injected relativistic
electrons??)

def fp_diffusion(self, gamma, t):
"""
Diffusion term/coefficient for the Fokker-Planck equation.
The diffusion is directly related to the electron acceleration
which is described by the ``tau_acc`` acceleration timescale
parameter.
NOTE
----
Considering that the turbulence acceleration is a 2nd-order Fermi
process, it has only an effective acceleration time ~<1 Gyr.
Therefore, only during the period that strong turbulence persists
in the ICM that the turbulence could effectively accelerate the
relativistic electrons.
WARNING
-------
A zero diffusion coefficient may lead to unstable/wrong results,
since it is not properly taken care of by the solver. Therefore
give the acceleration timescale a large enough but finite value
after turbulent acceleration.
Also note that a very large acceleration timescale (e.g., 1000 or
even 10000) will also cause problems (maybe due to some limitations
within the current calculation scheme), for example, the energy
losses don't seem to have effect in such cases, so the derived
initial electron spectrum is almost the same as the raw input one,
and the emissivity at medium/high frequencies even decreases when
the turbulence acceleration begins!
By carrying out some tests, the value of 10 [Gyr] is adopted for
the maximum acceleration timescale.
