Charpak, drift chamber, field map, wire chamber

By Benoît Delcourt

Wire chambers can locate, in a gas, high energy, charged elementary particles such as electrons or protons, and follow their path, which can for example be deflected by a magnetic field. Very thin metallic wires are stretched between two parallel metal...

Electric equilibrium of conductors.

capacities, charges at surface, field map

By Benoît Delcourt

We deal here with the equilibrium of parallel metallic conductors . The axis of conductors are perpendicular to the screen . The electric field is zero inside the conductor and there are charges only at their outer surface. The electric field is , just...
