1) Is Eq.(A.2) remain the same in the updated definition?
2) How is defined the PHI_C (RF phase in the cavity)? (Maybe this is related to the 1 question).
2) With this new notation, PhiC models the RF phase in the cavity ( PhiC changes by by 1° when the RF field is changes by 1°).
As you can see, by arbitrary definition, -PhiC is the RF phase when Phi(s) = 0 (or the RF phase is 0 when Phi(s)=PhiC).
In the former definition, "Phi(s)" was the RF seen by the particle when at s.
Now, "Phi(s) - PhiC" is the RF seen by the particle when at s.
1) YES, equation (A2) remains the same, considering the phase of the RF field seen by the particle.
With the new notation, this field is written "Phi(s) - PhiC".
Whatever the way the synchronous phase is defined (with or without PhiC), the particle dynamics is always calculated withthe RF field seen by the particle.
From the previous discussion ( viewtopic.php?f=3&t=55)
2) Phi0 is the RF input field phase, right?
3) How that GenLinWin computed Phi0?
Usually, give Phi0 you compute Phi(s) and then Phis (synchronous phase) is computed using Eq. (A5) in the former notation.
However, as the manual says the Phis is "selected" to satisfy Eq (A4), then automatically satisfy Eq. (A5).
My guess is that given Phis, you can obtain Phi(s) and the Phi0 right?
2) In that case,
Before : Phi0_old was the value of Phi_old(s) when s = s0 (when the particle enter the field map)
Phi_old(s) being the RF phase.
Now : Phi0_new is the value of Phi_new(s) when s = s0 (when the particle enter the field map)
Phi_new(s)-PhiC being the RF phase.
3) I let Didier answering to this question (dealing with the way it is implemented).
Conclusion :
I realised, with your pertinent question, how much confusing can be our change of notation.
I incist, the physics is still the same, only the physical meaning of the variables (with same name !) have been changed, which is, I confess, much confusing.
We will examin with Didier what we can do to be clean this "natural" confusion and will let you know.
Whether it is GenLinWin or TraceWIn obviously the equations used are exactly the same.
I will remove the term PhiC from the respective documentations as it is unnecessary in the explanation except to bring confusion.
I am interested in how to compute the Phi0 given the synchronous phase.
This comes from the adjustment of the Phi0 for cavity compensation schemes when I want to operate a certain synchronous phase.
