“…According to [1] the longitudinal and transverse beam coupling impedances Z 0, (ω) andZ 0,⊥ (ω) of a simple, unperturbed pipe (e.g., circular, perfectly conducting) assumed known, can be related to those Z (ω),Z ⊥ (ω) of another pipe differing from the former by some perturbation in the boundary geometry and/or constitutive properties, as follows (beam at r = 0) 1 :…”
