Advanced issues in PIC-MCC modeling of capacitively coupled plasmas

Because of the many numerical and modeling choices, modeling capacitively coupled plasmas using a Particle-In-Cell/Monte-Carlo-Collisions (PIC-MCC) approach has challenges. To cultivate confidence in these simulations, Turner Et.al. ["Simulation benchmarks for low-pressure plasmas," Phys. Plasmas, 20, . 1-11, 2013] created a rigorous benchmark for verifying PIC-MCC codes. We will discuss VSim's modeling of this benchmark, the limitations of the benchmark, and the implications for the users of our software.
