Description

We present the analytical solution for the transverse and longitudinal wakefields in a perfectly conducting elliptical cavity following from a conformal mapping formalism. These closed-form results are corroborated by numerical calculations. Simple representations of the dipole and quadrupole modes as a function of the cavity dimensions then precipitate, permitting the analyses of the beam tail’s emittance preservation and BNS damping in an alternating structure. We then consider general forms for the dipole and quadrupole components as functions of the longitudinal coordinate and determine what perturbations to such a structure may improve stability.
