Method for computing driving and detuning beam coupling impedances of an asymmetric cavity using eigenmode simulations

Abstract

We propose a method for numerical calculation of driving and detuning transverse beam coupling impedances of an asymmetric cavity. The method relies on eigenmode simulations and can be viewed as an alternative to time-domain wakefield simulations. A similar procedure is well established for symmetric cavities, and this paper extends it to the case of an asymmetric cavity. The method is benchmarked with time-domain wakefield simulations and its practical implementation is discussed.
