Cavity Sensitivity Estimates
Position Cavity
The dipole mode sensitivity was estimated from the following formula, the measured external quality factor of 617 and R/Q from simulation in several codes, of which CST and GdfidL use a hexahedral mesh while Ace3p uses a tetrahedral mesh:
Reference Cavity
The measured external quality factor of the reference cavity is 203.

Correction, June 2013
The mode R/Qs were now calculated by integrating over the full geometry instead of just the cavity length:. The results for the position cavity are:
