# This script tests the particle pusher (HC)
# using a force-free field,
# in which position x should remain 0.
# An initial velocity Vy corresponding to
# Lorentz factor = 20 is used.
# Bz is fixed at 1 T.
# Ex = -Vy*Bz.

# Possible errors:
# Boris:     2321.3958529
# Vay:       0.00010467
# HC:        0.00011403
# tolerance: 0.001
# Possible running time: ~ 4.0 s
