Dear all,

I try to run an Umbrella Sampling Simulation for the Cl- + H3C-Cl -> Cl-CH3 
+ Cl- reaction to introduce myself to CP2K and I wanted to ask whether my 
setup is okey or not. I am also very interested in possible pitfalls and so 
on and things which can be improved. 

Any help would be very appreciated
Thanks in advanced
Sushi
