When ``<beam name>.injection_type == fixed_weight``, possible options are ``can``
(uniform longitudinally, Gaussian transversally) and ``gaussian`` (Gaussian in all directions).

* ``<beam name>.n_subcycles`` (`int`) optional (default `1`)
* ``<beam name>.n_subcycles`` (`int`) optional (default `10`)
Number of sub-cycles performed in the beam particle pusher. The particles will be pushed
``n_subcycles`` times with a time step of `dt/n_subcycles`. This can be used to improve accuracy
in highly non-linear focusing fields.

I had to increase the tolerance, not sure why as the new solver should be more accurate. Should be OK, since this value is still low, and arbitrary.
