GE PROPOSED RUN F: Ng=3e15 cm-3, I=100 mA
This problem using the Lawler and Kortshagen cross-sectional
data was run
for 27 microsecs. Equilibrium was reached at about 10 microsecs
as can seen from the Average Density(t) and Ez(t) diagnostics below.
On a Pentium III 600 MHz machine this run would take about
18 hours to reach equilibrium.
The simulation starts off with initial Bessel function
electron and ion density profiles with axial density = 1e11/cc.
