- Testing the multi-species background gas with a CO2-N2-He reservoir using effective cross-section data (Phelps database, www.lxcat.net, retrieved on February 18, 2020)
- Background gas: 6E23 1/m3 (1/3 each), Electrons: n_e = 1E21 1/m3
- Testing basic variable weighting factor functionality and load balance
- Part-vMPF = T with equal species MPF, constant number of particles
- Part-vMPF = T with a different particle MPF compared to background gas, half the number of particles (weighting factor of background gas is irrelevant)
- Part-vMPF = T with a trace background species, where particles are split to test more often with the trace background species, number of particles is increasing as electrons with lower weighting factor are introduced after collisions with the trace species
