two_stream_ee_es
{

This is the classic electron/electron two-stream instability, with counter-propagating electron beams
having velocities much larger than their thermal velocity.

We work in pseudo-1D geometry.  It's 2D Cartesian geometry, but the y-direction is only
2 cells across with periodic BC's.  The x-direction is long.

The field solve is electrostatic.  Hence, there is also a background distribution of ions to provide
charge neutrality.

For the theory, see Sections 5-6 and 5-7 of the classic reference
