!Start circuit definition
!
! We start with a capacitor and switch with the parameters based on the
! Thor II brick with the 80 nF version of the GA 35426M Capacitor 40 nF,
! 15 nH, start with a 0.13  ESR. We will use a total inductance of 121.5 nH for the brick
! that includes the inductance of the feeds leading to the load and the
! inductance of the load.
! 
! At this point we really do not know the time dependent ESR of the capacitor.
!
! We will use the Martin Switch model for the Kinetech Switch
!
! The charge voltage will be 100 kV. This is the operating point for the SNL test brick.
!
! Rev. 3 uses 2 arc channels to explore the change in switch resistance for two channels.
