The four key emission models necessary for B-dot cavity physics and DSMC (Direct Simulation Monte Carlo) collision models for Argon background gas have been implemented and tested. A series of B-dot simulations have been performed with vacuum, gas fill, and gas fill with space-charge limited emission models. Results are being validated against NIF experimental data. These were presented at the mid-term panel review. The ATS-1 L2 milestone is dependent on this milestone and is similarly on track. The mid-term review occurred at SNL on 5/15/2019. Target problems at the requisite scale and of interest to this Milestone have been defined and will be run during Q4.
