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)
