Abstract:This paper seeks to show that the beam screen of the LHC has an important effect on the electric field of the LHC beam, a few tens of sigmas away from its center. To do so, we develop two new methods for finding the effect of a complex conducting boundary for boundary value problems in electrostatics. Both methods are based on a generalization of the method of images and require low computing power. The result is an exact solution to the problem of a discretized conducting boundary, which we take to be an appr… Show more
