The formula for this is derived by truncating to two terms a Taylor expansion of the exponential of minus q phi over k T, so the most important dependence of this property is on the square root of the ratio of temperature to particle number density.

The total version of this to the minus two is equal to the version for electrons to the minus two plus the version for cations to the minus two, and the lower bound in the integral for total Rutherford scattering cross section is equal to the sine of the arctangent of the ratio of the scattering length to this. FTP name this measure of self-shielding in; and, hence, fundamental characterization of; a plasma; a distance symbolized lambda-d.
