Revisiting RF Cavity parameters (RFP) #121
Description
At some point, we would presumably like to support field maps. In the absence of those, there is a quite a bit of complexity involved in selecting input parameters that characterize a general RF field, and the set of appropriate parameters can depend on the cavity type or on the assumed analytical model used for tracking.
For thin (zero-length) cavity models, the situation is simpler, and the parameters in RFP are probably sufficient. For thick cavity models: 1) Do we want to assume an explicit field model for one or more cavity types? 2) How should we define the RF phase in a standard and unambiguous way? We should really clarify these points in the section regarding RFP.
