Transfer map inaccuracy for fringe field effect for dipole element #259

Open zihan-zh opened 4 days ago

zihan-zh commented 4 days ago

There is a missing coefficient in the fringe field effect calculation for dipole magnets in the current implementation. According to the formula 18.16 in Bmad manual, a coefficient of 2 should be implemented into the phi value calc in Dipole._transfer_map_enter and Dipole._transfer_map_exit.

I believe this is due to different naming conventions. We used the OCELOT parameters where gap(cheetah, ocelot) = 2 * hgap (MAD, BMAD), See https://github.com/desy-ml/cheetah/blob/3038c7b51b40a7dd36c4a2c105dbd030c86da743/cheetah/accelerator/dipole.py#L31)

So the actual issue is the incorrect converter class... This should be fixed: https://github.com/desy-ml/cheetah/blob/3038c7b51b40a7dd36c4a2c105dbd030c86da743/cheetah/converters/bmad.py#L148
