// The poisson equation (here the heat equation) is solved in cylindrical coordinates:
//   $ \Delta u = 1/r \partial_r(r \partial_r u) + \partial_{zz} u +  1/r^2 \partial_{\theta^2} u $
// so the variationnal formulation is after integer on the 3d cylinder 
// rotation invariant given $\partial_{\theta} u =0$
//  $ - \Delta u = f $
//  on the 1/2 plan $ \theta =0$ 
//  $ \int r ( \partial_r u \partial_r v + \partial_z u \partial_z v ) = \int r f v  - \int_{\Gamma} r \partial_n u v $  
//  the radial coordinate 'r' is called 'x'.
//  the depth coordinate 'z' is called 'y'.
// The wafer stuck is a rectangle with upper left corner at (0,0)
//  and lower right corner at (radius,-thickness)
// The laser beam it the surface from top to bottom at the center (0,0).
