Hi, Does the plasma module considers coulomic interactions between the particles? And can we control it (for example its cut-off length, etc.)? Thanks.

Hi!

Plasma module accounts electrostatic interactions by self-consistent solution of Poisson equation with continuity equations for species components. It is not PIC approach, where you need to control cut-off length, number of macroparticles, etc.
