Dear OPAL developers,

Looking at the RFcavity model implementation in OPAL, one could read in the manual that

"The RF cavities are treated as straight lines with infinitely narrow gaps and the electric field is a �δ function plus a transit time correction."

Could you please let me know where to find more info regarding how OPAL computes the transit time correction? Is this an analytical model available somewhere?

Many thanks for your time and support!

Best regards,

Malek
