abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">Plasmas in modern tokamak experiments contain a significant fraction of
impurity ion species in addition to main deuterium background. A new unlike-particle
collision operator for δf particle simulation has been developed to study the nonlocal
effects of impurities due to finite ion orbits on neoclassical transport in toroidal
plasmas. A new algorithm for simulation of cross-collisions between different ion
species includes test-particle and conserving field-particle operators. An improved
field-particle operator is designed to exactly enforce conservation of number, momentum
and energy.</p>},
