abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">We develop a numerical method for approximating the surface modes of
sphere-like nanoparticles in the quasi-static limit, based on an expansion of (the angular
part of) the potentials into spherical harmonics. Comparisons of the results obtained
in this manner with exact solutions and with a perturbation ansatz prove that
the scheme is accurate if the shape deviations from a sphere are not too large. The
method allows fast calculations for large numbers of particles, and thus to obtain statistics
for nanoparticles with random shape fluctuations. As an application we present
some statistics for the distribution of resonances, polariziabilities, and dipole axes for
particles with random perturbations.</p>},
