Thanks, Marissa.

That parameter file was accidentally omitted from the FLASH4.5 tar ball, 
sorry about that.

In addition, there are some additions to a Config file that should also 
have been included. I have attached the missing part; the lines should
be appended to the end of file

    source/Simulation/SimulationMain/LaserSlab/Config .


With these changes the "Laser Driven Simulation with Thomson Scattering 
Diagnostics" should be functional for demonstrating the "Simple" Thomson 
Scattering implementation; we are working on an advanced version using ray 
tracing.

   D pwin_variable for debugging: density of Power In from Thomson probe laser, used for power measurement and renorming
   D pwia_variable for debugging: density of Power In, except where forbidden by critical density
   D pwi1_variable for debugging: density of Power In, attenuated by close-to-critical energy loss. Expensive computation.
   D pwi2_variable for debugging: density of Power In, attenuated by close-to-critical energy loss along both legs
   D pwde_variable for debugging: density of Power of light from the Thomson scattering region that gets detected
   D pwd1_variable for debugging: density of Power of light from the Thomson scattering region that gets detected, attenuated
   D pwd2_variable for debugging: density of Power of light from the Thomson scattering region that gets detected, (2 legs) attenuated
