darkhistory.physics.peebles_C(xHII, rs)

Hydrogen Peebles C coefficient.

This is the ratio of the total rate for transitions from n = 2 to the ground state to the total rate of all transitions, including ionization.

Parameters:
xHIIfloat

The ionization fraction nHII/nH.

rsfloat

The redshift in 1+z.

Returns:
float

The Peebles C factor.
