1D Hybrid Results

Simulation results of the sulfur test case shown below.
Test case:

sulfur maxwellian core, isotropic, Tperp=Tpar= 100 eV
sulfur ring beam, vr = 57 km/s, thermal spread about ring with Tperp=Tpar= 5 eV

Predicted wavelength at max growth was 3 c/wpi, however this mode did not appear. Looking to longer wavelength modes showed energy growth better resembling that of an instability.

The phase space does not show any remarkable features.
