A verification study of a semi-implicit energy-conserving electrostatic particle-in-cell algorithm is presented. The algorithm relaxes the time-step and mesh-size constraints that require resolution of the plasma period and Debye length associated with traditional explicit momentum-conserving particle-in-cell algorithms
