Sorry, you may be correct. However, I downloaded the paper and found this:
In the central region of this slab, part of the electron population was initialized as a beamlike bunch with an average energy of 1 MeV at an intensity of 5 1018 W=cm2. All other electrons were thermal electrons with a temperature of 2 keV. On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 1:14 AM, Axil Axil <[email protected]> wrote: > I disagree.
