GE PROPOSED RUN J: Ng=1e14 cm-3, I=100 mA
This problem using the Lawler and Kortshagen cross-sectional
data was run
for 17 microsecs. Equilibrium was reached at about 7 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
4 hours to reach equilibrium.
The simulation starts off with initial Bessel function
electron and ion density profiles with axial density = 8e9/cc.
