A Ion trap inside a microwave cavity

When designing an ion trap within a microwave cavity at 100 GHz, key considerations include the impact on the cavity's finesse due to the presence of the rods. The drop in finesse can be estimated by analyzing how the rods affect the electromagnetic field distribution and losses within the cavity. Additionally, factors such as the thermal effects on the ion trap, the alignment of the rods, and potential coupling between the ion trap and the cavity modes should be examined. It is also important to consider the overall dimensions of the cavity in relation to the wavelength to ensure optimal performance. Thorough analysis and simulations will be essential for successful integration.

I am thinking of placing an ion trap (0.3 mm rods radius, 0.6 mm from the axis and 1-2 mm long) inside a MW cavity at 100 GHz (assume the length of the cavity is 3-10 times the wavelength). What are some issues I need to consider while designing this? One main one is the drop in finesse of the cavity when placing the rods there. How can I estimate this? Also, what else should I look into? Thank you!
