Dear Nicholas,

Thanks again!

Dear Didier,

Is there a handy way of extracting the "input phase" for all cavities? The closest is "Cav_set_point_res.dat" but it only contains the synchronous phase. Can you add a column to that file? Or is it recorded somewhere?

Best regards,
Wai-Ming

Dear Wai-Ming,

I added a culumn RF_phase

Thanks, Didier.

Dear Didier and Nicholas,

A follow up question on the interpretation of the Input Phase (now called RF phase) for field maps at different frequencies. Please see attachment.

In the project, A1 is at 100MHz and A2 is at 200MHz. I believe the RF Phase reported for A1 is the wall clock phase counted at 100MHz, while the RF Phase for A2 is the wall clock phase counted at 200MHz. Is it correct?

In this particular example, A1 is leading A2 by:
71.2/2-(-3.1)=38.7 at 100MHz, or
71.2-(-3.1*2)=77.4 at 200MHz

Is it correct?

Best regards,

Dear Wai-Ming,

The absolute phase of each cavity is the phase of the RF field in the cavity (oscillating with the RF frequency of the cavity) at the start of the simulation.
If you add a drift L at the start of the simulation:
- the absolute phase in A1 is reduced by: dphi_A1 = 360°*100MHz*L/(beta*c)
- the absolute phase in A2 is reduced by: dphi_A2 = 360°*200MHz*L/(beta*c) = 2*dphi_A1
for example : L = 1 mm --> dphi_A1 = 2.6° and dphi_A2 =5.2°.

I hope it is clear ?

Best regards.

Nicolas.

Dear Nicolas,

The 1mm test is great. I have the answer I wanted. Thanks.
