Techniques now exist for constructing accurate transfer maps for very general magnetic elements, including fringes and overlapping fields [1–3]. For radio-frequency (rf) cavities, however, current modeling practices usually compute transfer maps as either energy kicks that vary with cavity phase, e.g. [4], or linear maps [5]. Both approaches omit significant physics: Using just an energy kick ignores the transverse particle dynamics important in, for example, high-gradient rf linear accelerators [6,7], rf cavities that contain axial asymmetries [8,9], or rf cavities designed for purposes other than acceleration [10–13]. Using a linear map in a z-based code implies the absence of second-order energy variation—important when accelerating near peak voltage. The work described here aims to place the treatment of rf cavities on the same footing as the present treatment of magnetic elements in modern nonlinear beam-dynamics codes. Rosenzweig and Serafini [6] presented a generalized matrix approach—generalized in the sense that phase information is included in the matrix entries—for ultrarelativistic particles in an axisymmetric and periodic rf cavity. Van Zeijts [14] brought to bear the power of Hamilton’s machinery [15]. The advantages of this approach include the fact that computing transfer maps to high order can be automated; other fields—from nearby magnets or other cavity modes—can easily be superposed; and the inclusion of axial asymmetries is straightforward. To compute transfer maps for rf cavities, one must know the vector potential; in particular, one must have a transverse expansion of the vector potential at many longitudinal locations. One may construct the coefficients of such an expansion from the on-axis field and its derivatives. For a realistic cavity, however, the on-axis field is known only from experimental measurement or electromagnetic simulation, and numerically computed derivatives become increasingly suspect as the order increases. This paper describes a method for computing robustly and to high order the coefficients in the transverse expansion of the
