Modification of coupled integral equations method for calculation the accelerating structure characteristics (2203.03518v1)

Abstract: Modification of coupled integral equations method (CIEM) for calculating the characteristics of the accelerating structures is presented in this paper. In earlier developed CIEM schemes the coupled integral equations are derived for the unknown electrical fields at interfaces that divide the adjacent volumes. In addition to the standard division of the structured waveguide by interfaces between the adjacent cells, we propose to introduce new interfaces in places where electric field has the simplest transverse structure. Moreover, the system of coupled integral equations is formulated for longitudinal electrical fields in contrast to the standard approach where the transverse electrical fields are unknowns. The final matrix equations contain expansion coefficients of the longitudinal electric field at these additional interfaces. This modification makes it possible to deal with a physical quantity that plays an important role in the acceleration of particles (a longitudinal electric field), and to obtain approximate equations for the case of a slow change in the waveguide parameters.
