Does anybody know if there is an analytical expression for the electrostatic potential produced by a charge distribution confined to a double cone shaped region. Think of a beam of charged particles converging to a focus and then diverging again. The total charge in each thin, cross-sectional slab of this beam has to be constant. Therefore the charge density is inversely proportional to the local, cross-sectional area of the beam. The beam (double cone) can be treated as extending infinitely far in both directions.
