Finite Element Analysis of Electrostatic Coupling in LISA Pathfinder Inertial Sensors

Zhang, Wenyan; Lei, Jungang; Wang, Zuolei +4 more

In the LISA Pathfinder (LPF) mission, electrostatic noise can reach the femto-Newtonian level despite the fact that the LPF's sensors are equipped with potential shielding. Most of the existing simulation studies focus on the electrostatic edge effect and related fields, while the simulation study of the patch effect is neglected. For that reason,…
