Analytical study of electrostatic ion beam traps

The use of electrostatic ion beam traps requires one to set many potentials on the electrodes (ten in our case), making the tuning much more difficult than with quadrupole traps. In order to obtain the best trapping conditions, an analytical formula giving the electrostatic potential inside the trap...
