 Unordered-pair collision rate

For a dilute phase-mixed population, an identical-species collision rate counts unordered pairs: ${\Gamma }_{ii}=K_{ii}{N}_i(N_i-1)/2$. Different species have rate ${\Gamma }_{ij}=K_{ij}{N}_i{N}_j$. Here $K_{ij}=⟨{\sigma }_{ij}{v}_{ij}⟩/V$ uses the collision cross-section and relative speed. Destroying both identical particles gives ${\dot{N}}_i=-2{\Gamma }_{ii}$, not $-{\Gamma }_{ii}$. This distinction prevents inconsistent factors when using one kinetic kernel for several particle sizes.
