noooway edited this page Dec 23, 2017 · 21 revisions

Consider cylindrical beam in drift tube. Potential decreases from the wall to the center of tube and beam

# To run the example:
cd your-ef-dir; cd examples/potential_well; sh run_example.sh

Poisson equations for this case:

Where phi(r) is potential distribution along r coordinate, |e| charge of particle, n_0 density in the beam.

Boundary conditions:

Where U_0 potential on the wall. In our case U_0 = 0

Solution of the system:

Where k = 4 pi |e| n_0

Results of simulation in comparison with analytical solution.
