Method of boundary perturbation, and its application to wakefield calculations

摘要

The boundary perturbation method, suggested by Zhang and (independently) by Chatard-Moulin, Cooper, and their colleagues, is employed to the wakefield calculations for geometrical discontinuities in accelerators. Results are compared with that obtained from the mesh calculations using TBCI. When the perturbation is small and the geometry is suitable for TBCI, agreement is good. Discrepancies observed in other cases are also discussed.
