My configuration is a thin aluminum layer sandwiched between two polystyrene layers. Initially, I modified the if statements in initblock to define 4 regions (chamber, 1st/2nd/3rd target layer) and modified the other init files as well as Config and .par to reflect this. I only used the two species defined in the default LaserSlab problem, using CHAM_SPEC (helium) for the middle target layer, just to establish that I changed the geometry correctly). This compiles and runs as expected. </div><div
