How to properly fiducialize an RFMODE element
Posted: 17 Oct 2021, 03:58
Hi Michael,
I'm trying to simulate a bunch injecting into an empty booster. I use a two-page bunch distribution in the tracking, the first page is a single-particle bunch for fiducialization, so that the second page can be the real bunch with a specified temporal error. However, RFMODE seems to accumulate the beam-induced voltage of the single particle bunch in the first page, using the same bunch charge as the second page. This obviously is not what I want. What is your suggested way to treat this fiducialization issue? Thanks!
