    The document discusses numerical studies of electrostatic field distortion in Micromegas detector modules based on time projection chambers (TPC). Micromegas detectors are being considered for use in large prototype TPCs for particle physics experiments. Simulation tools like Garfield and COMSOL were used to model the electric field and study effects like electron drift, diffusion, and distorted signals under different magnetic field conditions. Future plans include more detailed simulations and improving signal modeling by applying resistive layers and varying the magnetic field.
