Simulating a shielded room

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hey guys this is a wierd one but any help would be great!

Trying to simulate the passage of a massive photon through a shielded room. Because its massive it now has modes that should go through the walls of the room. So far what I have done is create a room of 1cm thickness inbetween two parallel plates with varying voltage at 1MHz (essentially created a varying E-Field). Looking at the center of the room, the E Field was infact attenuated but the voltage at the center of the room monotomically increased.

I would like to see the normal modes of the shielded room by looking at the voltage in the middle of the room. Does anyone have any suggestions on things I should try?

Thank you!

Wow. A massive photon? I assume you are talking about solving problems in fundamental theoretical particle physics. E.g., see http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2013/10/search-for-a-massive-photon-may-reveal-dark-matter-and-nix-the-standard-model.html

If you are going to model something as exotic as this using Comsol Multiphysics, you'll first need to prepare a suitable PDE, to describe the physics. Here's a link to an article that just might help you get started on doing that, I suppose:

Of course, since massive photons might not even exist in our universe, you could be wasting your time. But hey, there's a risk in every endeavor, right? And you just might win a Nobel prize in physics some day. So best wishes to you, and good luck! :-)
