Dear All,
I'm very new in comsol.
I would like to study the electric field distribution of a relativistic charged particle in a medium (i.e. Air). I build a simple box of air, with all the faces at V=0, and I release a charge particle from the center of one of the phase, including the charged particle tracing module and the electrostatics module. As result I get the actual trajectory of my particle (a streight line) but no information about the electric field (apparently is zero everywhere). As electrostatics boundary condition I used the charge conservation in the whole box, the zero charge (and potentials) on all the faces of the box; for the charged particle I just impose the starting point and the velocity of the particle.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Gianluca

Sorry to up this discussion, but I'm still trying to make this excercize and a more general question (and basic) rises in my mind:
do you know if is it possible to have (also in the simple ES module) the electric field of a particle? I mean of some object without dimensions (not a small sphere) , with Z=1... I think that this is the first pass to implement my attempt to integrate ES with CPT...
thanks for any suggestion,
g.
PS: should be nice if you could point me to some example in which something similar what I need (electric field of a moving charged particle) is already implemented
