34 Calculate eta given rho and zeta.
35 This formula is faster than the standard calculation (below) from log(tan(theta/2)
36 but one has to be careful when rho is much smaller than z (large eta values)
37 Formula is eta = log( zs + sqrt(zs^2 + 1) ) where zs = z/rho
38
39 For large value of z_scaled (tan(theta) ) one can appoximate the sqrt via a Taylor expansion
40 We do the approximation of the sqrt if the numerical error is of the same order of second term of
41 the sqrt.expansion:
42 eps > 1/zs^4 => zs > 1/(eps^0.25)
43
44 When rho == 0 we use etaMax (see definition in etaMax.h)
