According to documents, the minimum ionization level ms_targZmin in LaserSlab must be set to the value larger than value corresponds to critical density. In the example.par file, the ms_targZmin is set to 0.02, which corresponds to around critical density of
1053nm (1.205e+21 1/cc) in .par file.</div>
