Dear CP2K community,
I am trying to simulate Ag nanoparticle (38 Ag atoms cluster) surrounded by 84 water molecules under laser pulses of strength 7.2 times 10^4 W/cm2 as well as in absence of laser.  The time step is 0.005 fs but i am finding the temperature increase to 1000 K after few timesteps and remains so for rest of simulation (500 fs).  The simulation box is based on the density of water and Ag cluster and not unstable. I have attached the inputs and the energy log snippets below ,

in presence of laser pulse:

I will be glad if you can suggest how to control the temperature for the system. 

Thanks and Best Regards
