Abstract
In order to simulate a Superheated-Superconducting detector which is under
construction for Particle Physics purposes, we study a bidimensional lattice
of small superconducting spheres placed in an external magnetic field. We
propose a model to study the diamagnetic interactions among the spheres and
solve it using numerical Monte-Carlo techniques. New phenomena are found
and the ensuing results are analyzed. Finally it is proposed a qualitative
explanation.
